About the author
Born in A Coruña in 1885, Wenceslao Fernández-Flórez became a widely read Spanish journalist and novelist. He wrote with wit and clarity, often drawing on everyday life, politics, and the landscapes and character of Galicia, the region he remained deeply attached to throughout his career.
He published many novels and stories, and some of his best-known books include El bosque animado and Volvoreta. His writing could be funny, tender, and critical at the same time, which helped make him popular with a broad readership.
Fernández-Flórez died in Madrid on April 29, 1964. He is still remembered as an important voice in 20th-century Spanish literature, especially for the warmth, irony, and distinctly Galician spirit that run through his work.
