Los encantadores de gusanos

by Nicholas Fisk, Patricio Ortiz (Illustrator)

Los encantadores de gusanos se presentaron en unas tierras del señor Brasen. -Es curioso -dijo Crump-, pero no veo ningún hoyo de gusano. El señor Brasen dijo que los hoyos estaban arruinando el prado. Pero, ¿dónde están? En efecto, era extraño que no hubiera hoyos de gusanos. Era casi como si el señor Brasen les hubiera dicho un montón de mentiras.

About the author

(1923–2016), British author of more than forty books and television scripts and a master of science fiction for children. Fisk, whose real name is David Higginbottom, grew up during the Second World War and served in the Royal Air Force. His autobiography, Pig Ignorant (1992), covers the years 1939–1941 and details his life in Soho, a bohemian section of London, where he played jazz in the evenings until he was called to enlist. After the war Fisk worked as a musician, journalist, and publisher. He started writing in the 1960s, and his popularity was at its height in the 1970s and 1980s. His most impressive work, A Rag, a Bone, and a Hank of Hair (1982), is a thrilling futuristic novel set at the end of the 22ndcentury. The government is cloning new people and has manufactured a 1940s wartime family whose members are unaware that nothing they know is real. This moving story is a dark representation of the threat posed by technological advancement but is optimistic in its message about the triumph of the human spirit. Fisk's most enduring books include Grinny (1973), which features a technologized extraterrestrial threat in the form of a great- aunt who glows at night, and Trillions (1971), an eerie story about mysterious hard shiny objects that contain an alien intelligence. Monster Maker (1979) was made into a film.
