Jorge Amado escreveu O Gato Malhado e a Andorinha Sinhá, em 1948, para o seu filho João Jorge, quando este completou um ano de idade. O texto andou perdido, e só em 1978 conheceu a sua primeira edição, depois de ter sido recuperado pelo filho e levado a Carybé para ilustrar. Com ilustrações belíssimas, para um belíssimo texto, a história de amor do Gato Malhado e da Andorinha Sinhá continua a correr mundo fazendo as delícias de leitores de todas as idades.

What a fine world this would be if a swallow could tall in love with a stray cat and the two of them could live happily ever after. In this marvelous dreamworld there is no prejudice at all between creatures or people high and low Jorge Amado, the internationally best-selling Brazilian novelist has written a delightful fable that could become the favorite gift between star-crossed lovers everywhere. Although this is indeed a fantasy in which Dawn and Morning and Spring and The Wind are memorable characters along with Miss Swallow and the Striped Cat the Reverend Parrot and the Old Owl, Amado fans will be cheered by the same storyteller’s art, the wild imagination, the lusty humor, and the philosophical asides of the master himself. Jorge Amado brings a richness of meaning to the simple tale of long ago when the Swallow and the Tom Cat fell in love. Very Good In Slightly Worn Dustjacket.Remainder Marking On Bottom Edge.
