About this book

Español

El nino que pagaba el pato

En un lejano reino de la época isabelina, Jemmy es un huérfano criado en el palacio con un solo propósito: recibir los azotes que merece el consentido Príncipe Malandrín, ya que nadie puede castigar a la realeza. Resentido al principio, el destino de Jemmy cambia cuando el travieso príncipe escapa del castillo y lo arrastra a una aventura fuera de sus muros. Enfrentando peligros y forajidos juntos, los dos improbables compañeros se convierten poco a poco en verdaderos amigos. Ilustrada con dibujos a tinta que recrean los trajes y la vida de la época, esta querida novela histórica es una emocionante historia de lealtad, valentía y amistad inesperada.

English

The Whipping Boy

In a distant Elizabethan-era kingdom, Jemmy is an orphan raised in the palace for one grim purpose: to be whipped whenever spoiled Prince Malandrin misbehaves, since no one dares punish royalty. Resentful at first, Jemmy's fate changes when the mischievous prince runs away and drags him along on a wild adventure beyond the castle walls. Facing outlaws, danger, and hardship together, the two unlikely companions slowly become true friends. Illustrated with ink drawings capturing period costumes and daily life, this beloved historical novel is a fast-paced tale of loyalty, courage, and unexpected friendship.
