Las reflexiones de una jardinera que ha heredado el amor y el respeto por la naturaleza. Leticia Rodríguez de la Fuente nos invita a acompañarla en un recorrido por su granja de flores (que es también un recorrido por su vida), donde nos describe lo que se encuentra en cada zona: la casa, el jardín, el huerto de flores para cortar, la alberca de agua viva, los rosales, las flores de bulbo, las vivaces y gramíneas… Todo ello en un relato a medio camino entre la reflexión personal de una mujer que ha creado algo único en España y los consejos prácticos para aprender a cultivar, hacer ramos o centros de flores, conocer las ventajas de cada tipo de flor y aprender a distinguirlas en todos sus detalles.

Jean-Jacques Sempé (1932-2022) publica su primer libro de dibujos, Rien n’est simple, en 1962. Le seguirá una treintena de obras maestras del humor, entre las que figura Un poco de París, que traducen de maravillas su visión tiernamente irónica del mundo. Sempé es considerado un verdadero maestro del dibujo humorístico, un poeta que dejaba ver, a través de su sofisticado —y a la vez tan sencillo— humor, todas las bondades y defectos del ser humano. En Libros del Zorzal nos proponemos honrar su obra y su memoria.
