"De nen no tenia televisió. La música a través de la ràdio era la meitat del meu món, ja que l'altra el formava la literatura, devorar llibres.

I això és el que ha volgut transmetre'ns Jordi Sierra i Fabra, el mestre de la literatura infantil i juvenil, a través de les pàgines d'aquesta atípica òpera.
