Platero y Yo
T909835837
Scottish storyteller, Mike Maran has teamed up with Georgian puppeteer, Nino Namitcheishvili, to create a stage version of Platero y Yo by Spanish Nobel Laureate Juan Ram?n Jim?nez. The Australian classical guitarist, Craig Ogden, plays music by Italian composer Mario Castelnuovo Tedesco, especially composed to accompany the stories. The book is a series of short prose poems which paint an affectionate portrait of Moguer, a small town in the Andalusian countryside where the poet lived with Platero, his little silver donkey, at the turn of the last century. In 1960 Tedesco composed a suite of classical guitar music to accompany the stories.
