This Christmas: three albums of Saint-Pol-Roux for children (those who are and / or those who remained)

It has not escaped the wise people, large and small, who got up this morning, will be found under their Vosges fir or plastic, more or less quantifiable gifts that we are on Christmas Day. I happened to say, already, how this feast has importance in the legend saint-pol-Roussine . Today I just want to attract the attention of a few faithful of this blog on the work of a small Parisian publisher, who had the wonderful idea eight years ago, to illustrate three poems or prose Tales from Saint-Pol-Roux and publish them. I will not dwell more on editions Pedestrian if these three albums were wonderfully successful. If they were, emmi literary production for youth too often tasteless, poetic cobblestones in the pond.

choice, first, the three texts ideorealists was relevant. Not that the poet was nonplussed that we want sometimes, because of having read, say, but it was certainly select those, more narrative, which could most directly aimed at children. The duck goose , the puller hours , Saint Nicolas des Ardennes , are few.

He was also brave to bet on works including poetry overwhelms the narrative in all directions.

"And what a pious care was the incubator of his duty! Tacitly As it follows the gradual changes taking place in the temple of his feathers! Do not it look like she officiates, or rather has Does not look serious to a deity who will make creatures? She knows that in the bud after the first day of lines already taking shape, after the second day tiquetaque the heart, after the third blood was channeled, after the fourth body is different, after the seventh cervical emanates from the body, after the ninth and tenth curl feathers in their sheaths , after the eighteenth the skeleton is complete until the nineteenth chick will break the membrane that surrounds, that finally the twentieth to the twenty-first day the walls of the shell burst in the vitality of the recluse and so many bells will ring live Little Christmas. "

Illustrations, finally, Ortega Frédérique Michel Renaud and Barreteau Perrin, are nothing less than formidable; like the text, they do not take our little blondes, brunettes or redheads for insufficient imaginations that need to be pre-chew the meaning of any reading. The editions Pedestrian make beautiful books for children of all ages. I've had in my library before being father and they delighted me. And I am looking forward the day when I read to my son ... to awaken.
