To this period belongs the trilogy of The Merchants or Little Theatre, written in 17 and with that win, years later, the Planeta Prize.
The other should be emphasized in their work within the children's literature field in which he developed some of his best works, such as The stowaway Ulysses Forgotten King Gudu or Aranmanoth, being recognized with Lazarillo Award or the National Children's Literature.
Matute began his literary career very young, becoming finalist Nadal only 24 years.
Its production has been uneven over time with large brackets of inactivity.
It was especially prolific but his work was lengthened by over fifty years both in novel and story, where he shone particularly.
Translated into more than 23 languages, Ana Maria Matute was one of the writers in most international Spanish and proved a frequent speaker at universities and educational institutions, both in Europe and in Latin America and the United States.
