READER REVIEWS: “Stories with powerful messages.” “These tales send your imagination soaring to magical worlds where anything is possible.”

In times long past, a woodsman became a king; an emperor who had united his borders went searching for the meaning of life; a man who could not stop himself from saying what he thought, and another who carved through a mountain with his beak—and all of this without forgetting Little Barrel, a boy who became the world's first merchant; Elisa, the terror of the forests; and Dindan, the elf who carries dreams to every corner of the world each night . . . Comparable to masters of the genre such as Andersen or the Brothers Grimm, The Lost Forests is the second collection of tales by Miguel Ángel Villar Pinto. It includes eleven tales of wonder: “Big Owl,” “Dindan,” “Elisa and the Animals of the Forest,” “Little Tinsú,” “Gengar's Problem,” “The Woodsman King,” “Iberto and Bad Luck,” “The Statue and Its Pedestal,” “The Emperor's Question,” “The Unhappy Princess,” and “Little Barrel.”
