Adapted for children by the skilful pen of Ghislaine Roman, 6 stories introduce children to mythical stories from literature and theater while remaining faithful to the original plots. List of tales: 1. Ulysses and Penelope (from Homer's Odyssey, which dates from the end of the 8th century BC) 2. The madman of Laylâ (pre-Islamic Arabic tale) 3. Romeo and Juliette (based on Shakespeare's tragedy, written in 1597) 4. Paul and Virginia (based on the eponymous novel by Jacques-Henri Bernardin de Saint-Pierre, published in 1788) 5. Roxane and Cyrano (based on the play Cyrano de Bergerac by Edmond de Rostand, performed for the first time in 1897) 6. Tanabata (Japanese tale based on the Tanabata star festival which takes place every year in July in Japan) These texts from our literary heritage are wonderfully illustrated by Frederic Clément who brings his interpretation and his personal, poetic and contemporary touch. Large boards in soft colors accompany the classic texts.
