Author: Margarita del MazoIllustrator: Charlotte PardiPages: 40Size: 25 x 24 cmBinding: HardcoverPublisher: OQOISBN: 9788498714203—Wow, the Witch Pirujo!—I'm not Pirujo. I'm Camuñas,the one who never cuts his nails!–the witch replied indignantly.—Don't fool me. You're Pirujo!—No. I'm Camuñas!Although it may seem surprising, we are witnessing the beginning of a great friendship: between a witch who hunts children for his pantry and the one who was to be his next victim. However, little Blanca's intelligence will prevent Camuñas from swallowing her. Furthermore, it will cause the life of this man who never cut his nails to take a complete turn.Blanca is as cunning as a fox and as clever as an owl. Camuñas, lacking these two qualities, is easy prey for the game of confusion the girl begins when, one night, the witch enters her room to devour her.Blanca insisted, patiently:—Don't look so stupid and look at your hair.The wizard took off his hat and, almost crying, said:—What's wrong with my hair?—What hair?But they are just four hairs…The hair of the Witch Pirujo!By ridiculing some of her physical characteristics, which Camuñas had never paid attention to before, Blanca makes the witch doubt her identity—and even doubt that he could eat her—and he ends up fleeing home, distraught and devastated.
