De pequeño, mi padre me gritaba constatemente: '¡No me vengas con cuentos chinos!', y yo, curioso, siempre quise saber qué tenían los cuentos chinos con lo que decía o hacía, más encima teniendo en cuenta que no sabía ninguno. Más adelante comprendí que era una frase muy famosa y tópica, y que los mayores se la han soltado alguna vez a sus hijos hasta hoy. Pero a pesar de ello, picado en mi curiosidad, investigué por qué los chinos son tan cuentistas, y descubrí un montón de cosas. Ahora ya lo sé casi todo, el motivo de que mi padre dijera aquello y la razón de que los chinos posean tantas historias, leyendas y tradiciones. Es extraordinario. Por ello he querido escribir este puñado de cuentos.

Jordi Sierra i Fabra nació en Barcelona el 26 de julio de 1947.
Es conocido por su obra como escritor de literatura infantil y juvenil y su trabajo como periodista musical. Su vocación de escritor es clara y firme desde muy temprano: confiesa que dio sus primeros pasos con tan sólo ocho años de edad y a los doce años ya escribió su primera novela larga, de quinientas páginas.
Pese a su clara vocación no contaba con la aprobación o el entusiasmo de sus padres, quienes al acabar el bachillerato le obligaron a trabajar en una empresa de construcción durante el día y a estudiar para ser aparejador durante la noche.
De su infancia ha dicho que 'fui tres veces reprimido: por mi padre, por el régimen y por la escuela franquista'.
Aún así, su determinación y su tenacidad son más fuertes que cualquier obstáculo y sus insistentes cartas semanales a la cadena de radio Cadena Ser le llevaron a convertirse en uno de los fundadores de la revista 'El Gran Musical' en 1968.
En 1970 pudo abandonar los estudios para convertirse en comentarista musical, lo que le permitió viajar por todo el mundo con grupos y artistas del momento mientras cubría sus actuaciones y escribir reportajes.
