Estefanía Uribe nos presenta aquí una colección de cuentos cuya trama es, en esencia, infantil. Y por infantil debemos entender algo muy serio. Un universo cuyas leyes son maleables, donde la magia es omnipresente y el tiempo es caprichoso. Un lugar de amigos imaginarios pero no menos reales que las personas que nos rodean en la edad adulta.
