A precious collection of drops of light in forms of rhymes, from this great author, Cornelio Pires.

From the ages of 14 and 15, Pires began his career in journalism. At the age of 17, he left his hometown Tietê and moved to São Paulo where he continued his journalism, where he then pursued his other careers during his adulthood.

Cornélio Pires released 78 rpm records of Caipira music recordings, as opposed to sertanejo music, in 1929. In 1935, he began his radio show and then produced his second film, "Vamos Passeiar". In 1945 he published his last book, "Enciclopédia de Anedotas e Curiosidades", more than a decade before his death, which during that time he'd become a spiritualist.

Cornélio Pires was a cousin of the writers Elsie Lessa, Orígenes Lessa, Ivan Lessa.
