Celia en el mundo is the fourth installment in the series of "Celia" novels by Spanish children's author, Elena Fortún. Originally published in the year 1934, the novel continues the adventures of Celia in a series now considered classics of Spanish children's literature. In the fourth novel, Celia is taken away by her uncle from the convent where she had resided in Celia en el colegio (1932), and is brought to live with him and his servants, Basílides and Maimón. Celia spends quite a lot of time among grown-ups rather than with children her own age. Eventually, she befriends a young French girl named Paulette who becomes her constant companion throughout many adventures and misadventures. Like the previous novels, Celia en el mundo reflected a country slowly entering its civil war years, as well as the, often negative, general views people of those times had towards certain social groups, including the Moors, the Galicians, and to a lesser extent, the French, as well as the religious communities, such as the nuns. Different editions and reprints of the book featured artwork from different illustrators; the most recent editions featured Molina Gallent's artwork, while older editions featured that of M. Palacios and Gori Muñox. This was the very first "Celia" novel to not be featured in its entirety or even partially in Televisión Española's 1992 series, Celia, directed by José Luis Borau.
