A Tale of Day and Night [1992]
Original
Résumé A new version of A Giant in the Land of Men, conceived for younger children, in which a woman storyteller recounts the tale of Troller and Alfredo. Extrait « ALFREDO : I've got to get out of here, fast. / TROLLER : You're going to leave me alone? / THE STORYTELLER : During the day, rats hide. | They burrow… | They curl up in the warmth of their nests. / ALFREDO : You're big enough. If you feel like crying… Take a deep breath… (He coughs a terrible racking cough, and trembles from head to toe.) / TROLLER : You should warm yourself up a bit before you go. You're shaking like a leaf. » Revue de presse « This beautiful fable about tolerance and respect of our differences is told in a lyrical but simple language. […] Suzanne Lebeau makes use of fairyland devices to present some of the harsh realities of life to children. », Marie Labrecque, Voir, May 9, 1991. |
