Boda en el bosque

*The Wedding in the Forest* is a classic fable: talking animals, a pastoral setting, and universal values—beauty, love, friendship, solidarity, and respect—along with, of course, a moral: a world like this forest is a better world, one that could become reality if we managed to instill these values ​​in our children and ourselves. Yet, the story transcends its didactic intent. The descriptions of the setting and characters are so beautiful and imaginative that they work their magic, transporting the reader to the forest’s vibrant, natural splendor. The tender depiction of the flowers, the delicate flight of the butterflies, and even the charming thistle captivate the reader, inspiring a wish to dress up—even as a mosquito—and be there to congratulate the happy couple. A truly delightful tale.
