Chronicler of the Winds is a story about an urchin set in Maputo, the capital of Mozambique, written by Henning Mankell in 1995.
The story is told by a baker, José M. V., who finds Nelio, the main character, shot on the stage of a theatre. He helps the child and listens to the story the child has to tell.
The novel became a 1998 Portuguese language film entitled Comédia infantil. The film, a Sweden–Portugal–Mozambique co-production, was nominated for a Guldbagge Award for best film in 1999.
