“When he saw for the first time, under a finely knitted pink woolen hat, the dawning, half-closed eyes of his first great-granddaughter, he remained in admiration for a long time, contemplative and silent. Beneath his gruff exterior hid a real gentleness in his gestures, an infinite love for beautiful words and, more surprisingly, the soul of a poet. He was convinced that the most precious family heritage that one could leave to those close to them was that of words. So, he wanted to offer this wonderful little being a collection of 12 short stories mixing family anecdotes, the heritage of Aveyron dear to his heart, and his usual flamboyant imagination. He would call it: The 12 Tales. »
A poetic journey through Aveyron lands written with love and tenderness by a great-grandfather for his great-granddaughter. To read and enjoy from ages 7 to 77.
