Presentation
Contes de la rue Broca is a great classic of the French children's literature. With nearly 2 000 000 copies sold in France, it is regularly adapted for theater and included to school reading lists.
The giants, witches and mermaids who leap for its pages are animated by a very modern spirit. Blessed with healthy disrespect for authority, the author plays with the fabulous and takes a great pleasure in upsetting the natural order of the fantastic.
Pierre Gripari (1925-1990) studied at the prestigious Louis-le-Grand lycée, and tried his hand at various jobs, including serving in the army and acting as a trade-union delegate for an oil company. He resigned in 1957 in order to become a writer, but it was not until the 1970s that he became famous, with the publication of his Contes de la rue Broca.
