| Publisher Description: Once there was a little boy named Neftal who loved wild things wildly and quiet things quietly. From the moment he could talk, he surrounded himself with words. Neftal discovered the magic between the pages of books. When he was sixteen, he began publishing his poems as Pablo Neruda. Pablo wrote poems about the things he loved--things made by his friends in the caf , things found at the marketplace, and things he saw in nature. He wrote about the people of Chile and their stories of struggle. Because above all things and above all words, Pablo Neruda loved people. |
