The 3 best books by David Walliams

There are those who make literature an extension of the character. Taking advantage of the media pull, someone like David Walliams knew how to focus his renowned comic vision on literature in spaces like Little Britain, the equivalent of our Hora Chanante (by Joaquín Reyes and company).

Under this surreal, grotesque, parodic and even satirical humor, creative types often hide, very capable of pouring torrents of humor into other areas.

And his inexhaustible series “The incredible story of…” It is a demonstration that continues to sweep away with laughter from readers around the world. Certainly a worthy heir to his compatriot Tom sharpe, one of the kings of the humorous novel, only focused more on younger readers. Could it be that we have assumed that humor in the novel is only for kids?

Any of Walliams' stories, stripped of his Williams i out of the need for social insertion, is a fresh bath to take on our ridiculousness. Because deep down Walliams seeks empathy towards the most recognizable aspects of our world so that we end up laughing at ourselves.

Top 3 Recommended Books by David Walliams

The incredible story of the gangster grandmother

It's not that we can't suspect it. It could turn out that those usually cheerful beings, ready for the easy cheek and the insistent pinch, really work for the underworld.

There are no pensions to write home about and any officially remunerated economic activity in parallel can end in disappointment in the form of a request from the public treasury. So Ben's grandmother just does what she knows she has to do. And no one is wiser than a grandmother who has already returned from everything and still has the strength to control an entire black market without barely moving her white bow.

Her specialty: jewelry. His objective, a Robin Hood-style profit, taking advantage of the fact that prison is no longer possible at certain ages. Guaranteed laughter, surprises and a touch of affection for these characters who always live in our hearts with their wise advice, their recalcitrant manias and their determination to get through everything.

The incredible story of the mind-boggling giant

The most fantastic of Walliams' adventures. Little Elsie (don't listen to us because she already thinks she's old enough for anything), knows about the myth of the ice-cream monster and her head starts bubbling with ideas to discover what is true. Getting all the way to the North Pole is not much of an impediment to Elsie (because it seems that she is capable of almost anything). Only on the way and until the very end of his journey he will have to face the least comfortable part of a great adventure.

Because things will be very hard, the path is difficult and the nights are cold, and in the end, when it may arrive (we will have to find out if Elsie can absolutely handle everything despite being just a girl) we will discover that everything, the arrival and the trip, it will be part of the same fantasy, the same adventure dream. Because if the monster does not appear, it will have been very worth it. And if the monster does appear ..., moreover, everything will make sense.

The incredible story of an exceptional friend

The naive has been gaining its pejorative connotation. And yet, nothing more naive and recognized as essential to our culture, throughout the world as The Little Prince. Childhood is the genuine thing. Humanity facing discovery. The hope that we can transform what we observe, that we can intervene to change it. Trust in other peers... Mr. Fétido, with his undoubtedly mocking tone, takes us to that notion of being phobic about poverty. But little by little, as Chloe sees us, we are seeing in Mr. Fetid the learning of a life, the fantasy of someone who lives without so many conditions.

And it's not a matter of being a hippie, it's just a matter of leaving prejudices and stigmas locked in the drawer of seven keys. Let's take a trip with Chloe and her new friend. More than one of the stories we will hear will sound like a great moral that it never hurts to remember, even though it may sound naive. In the end Mr. Stink may not be just a miserable, unfortunate guy.
