Abstract
As in the Catalan series, a few lines of prose come below a large picture on each of these 7½" x 10" pages with wavy die cuts outlining the pages and matching the contours of the cover illustration. As with all of those pamphlets, this is 16 pages long. The pamphlet is one of a series of 52, listed on the inside of the back cover. The 52 in this series seem to match exactly the 52 in the Catalan series. And here the artist is the same as in the Catalan pamphlets that I have. This version introduces us to the "airosa y gentil niña campesina" as she puts on her long stockings early in the morning. As she carries her pitcher of milk, she admires flowers, birds, frogs. She pauses to enjoy fantasies. "Seré una niña importante!" Her downfall comes as she walks along: she fantasizes the leaping of a young calf around her mother cow, and she begins to do some leaping herself: "daba un saltito de alegria." Soon enough "pataplaf"! But she is a spirited young woman. She raises her head, dries her tears. "I will retrace my steps singing."
