La cruz de El Dorado
Premio Edebé de Literatura Juvenil 1999
My name is Jaime Mercader – although some people still know me as Little Jim – I was born on the 21st June 1887 in Aranjuez, a town in Madrid and these are my memories. In a way, I was a prodigy child, but, unfortunately for public morality, the activity that converted me in prodigious was poker. But, what else could anyone expect from Fernando Mercader's son, a big cheater and a swindler. I was born with a pack of cards in hand, my dear friends, and ever since, I have not let go of them. Being a child, and fleeing away from justice, my father and I were compelled to emigrate ourselves to America. And straight away the problems began. But if the shaking adventures, the amazing mysteries and eccentric people attract you, then do not hesitate paying the few coins that publishers ask for this volume, because that is exactly my life: one silly act to another.
