The Bell of Huesca

After the death of Peter I and Alfonso "the Battler," the third brother of the dynasty, Ramiro II "the Monk," came to reign in Aragon.

Imposing his authority on rebellious nobles will not be easy. But the peaceful king, the monk king, will succeed with a bell that still rings today. A masterfully illustrated Aragonese legend that takes us back to the Middle Ages of Alto Aragón.

Illustrations full of small winks and metaphors that spark the curiosity of children. A timeless book for curious little ones.
