"Hace tiempo, si uno se dirigía a Charing Cross Road desde Trafalgar Square, en cuestión de minutos se encontraba con una librería situada a mano derecha y sobre cuyo escaparate un cartel anunciaba: "WILLIAM BUGGAGE. LIBROS RAROS". Allí trabajan dos curiosos personajes: el librero, William Buggage, y su ayudante, la señorita Tottle, quienes no prestan demasiada atención a la venta de libros. Prefieren, más bien, leer cada día los obituarios, así como su obra favorita: el Who''s Who.Publicado por primera vez en 1987, "El librero" es uno de los grandes relatos de Roald Dahl. El final es, como siempre en sus libros, inesperado y sorprendente.

“Freedom is best, even with all its dangers.” In this heart-pounding adventure, a young finch falls from his family’s nest and into the life of a young boy and his father. The finch spends a harrowing night in a cage, barely escaping the clutches of a barn owl, and other threats. The next day, the boy offers the bird an unexpected chance at freedom. Will he take it?
