Le Québec en contes et légendes
Par Michel Savage. 2007
"[...] Écrit de manière simple et accessible, [ce livre] raconte l'histoire romancée du Québec depuis ses débuts. Il parle de…
loups-garous, de feux follets, de diables, de revenants et de fantômes. Il répond aussi à des questions comme "D'où vient l'hiver ?", "Qui est le Bonhomme Sept-heures ?" ou "Comment a-t-on découvert le sirop d'érable?". Le Québec en contes et légendes est un heureux mélange d'histoires les plus connues de la tradition orale, de contes inédits et de faits historiques relégués aux oubliettes. Plusieurs textes connus ont été réécrits par les auteurs pour mieux captiver les lecteurs d'aujourd'hui, pour leur faire peur, pour les faire pleurer ou pour les faire rire. [...]" -- 4e de couvWand
Par Landra Jennings. 2023
A dazzling story of grief and found family wrapped in a spellbinding fairy tale, perfect for fans of Anne Ursu…
and Jodi Lynn Anderson. Eleven-year-old Mira wishes everything could go back to the way it was. Before she changed schools and had to quit gymnastics. Especially before Papa died. Now she spends her days cooking and cleaning for her stepsisters and Val—who she still won't call mom and still won't forgive for the terrible thing she did. When a mysterious girl named Lyndame appears out of the woods wielding a powerful wand, she makes Mira an offer she can't refuse: she will grant Mira three wishes. What if magic isn't just pretend after all? What if these wishes could fix everything? But in the quiet town of Between, Georgia, where secrets lurk and rumors swirl of strange creatures, nothing is as it seems, and everything comes at a price. Rising talent Landra Jennings weaves together an enchanting, modern fairy tale with eloquence and compassion about finding hope after loss—and finding belonging in the places we least expectLes rapaillages: contes
