In a non-leap year the 13th of Adar is Ta'anit Esther.
In leap years - like this year 5771 - תשע"א - we fast and celebrate Purim in Adar-II.
However, in Adar-I we mark the days as "Purim Katan".
One should eat a bigger meal to increase happiness on 14th of Adar-I. Even in "walled cities" where Shushan-Purim is celebrated (e.g. Jerusalem) this is done on 14th (not 15th) of Adar-I.
During Adar-I the Megila is not read, nor does one say עַל הַנִּסִּים.
