Celia is always inventing and telling stories. The time has come to write them. The stories collected in this volume are those that Celia invents during several summer afternoons at the request of a group of girls eager to hear new stories.

The stories that Celia tells the girls come from the head of an adult Celia sometimes "slowly, giving time with one adventure for another to occur to me" and other times "in fits and starts." And they are always original and emotional, full of intelligent humor. The value that these stories have for children lies, according to Elena Fortún, creator of Celia, in the power of providing them with other people's experiences capable of helping them guide their future behavior.

For both Fortún and Celia, stories have the wonderful virtue of teaching us "the art of living." Most of them were first published in the magazine Crónica between 1931 and 1938, and all of them contain, as Cristina Cerezales Laforet indicates in the prologue of this edition, a hidden treasure waiting to be rescued by young readers.
