Originally developed by Natacha Costa Pereira – Portuguese painter and puppeteer – back in 2015, the short stories about D. Inês de Castro (a real historical figure) and her companion pidgeon Pimba were, up until now, only available on the local newspaper Região de Cister and in its official facebook page here. After about 2 years, the strips were all gathered in this book, featuring comments by Natacha’s friends and an interview.

The book is available for purchase here (Portuguese only) – “A incrível vida (depois da morte) de D. Inês de Castro e sua pomba Pimba”
