There are beings who live in the clouds, up where the sun always shines; ogres who learned to disguise their true form to hide their wickedness; goblin godfathers, just as there are fairy godmothers; a secret, magical island that is never in the same place twice; ancient beings who walk the Earth; and trains that take their passengers where they truly want to go. Because magic and fantasy, whatever anyone may say, are still very much alive today.

Comparable to masters of the genre such as Andersen or the Brothers Grimm, The Cloudlings and Other Tales is the fourth collection of tales by Miguel Ángel Villar Pinto. It includes seven tales of wonder: “The cloudlings,” “Linda the Little Cat,” “The King of the Ogres,” “The Godfather Goblin,” “The Secret Island,” “Robertinho,” and “Tilly the Train.”
