| Description: |
Modern fairy tales involving a pair of shoes in love, an out-of-practice 'tap fairy', a savvy piggy bank, witches, ghosts, mermaids and many children who consistently outsmart the grown-ups. The Good Little Devil and other Tales is a classic in France since its publication in 1967. |
| Synopsis: |
The children who live on rue Broca in Paris meet each week with "Monsieur Pierre." for him to tell them stories. Once Monsieur Pierre has told them all the stories he knows, he suggests that each week they make up a new story. According to the author, this is how he came up with these stories - a French childhood classic. The story of the Good Little Devil - beloved by all French schoolchildren - is about the little devil who, to the great disappointment of his parents, wants to be good. Other stories involve the deli owner of rue Broca, Papa Said, and his children, Bachir and Nadia, a highly convincing explanation of how the first piggy bank came to be, the adventures of Bachir's clairvoyant doll, a haunted apartment and the love story of a potato and a guitar) and many more improbable stories. |
