This bilingual book presents 19 short excerpts from the Nobel laureate's tender account of travels in Andalucia. Platero the donkey is the story's star, the village of Moguer its setting. For this edition, the translators selected passages which are evocative of small-town life in Spain in the first half of the 20th century. Antonio Frasconi provided the lively woodcut illustrations. Ages 10 to 14.  (SPN163, $16.00)
