This collection of three tales represents the traditional telling of stories of the wise fool Ti-Jean from early French Canada. Ti-Jean must outthink the Princess of Tomboso, Bonnet Rouge and the Siegneur's daughter in order to succeed and survive.
In a true Canadian storytelling tradition these authentic tales offer history and the magic of the story to readers as Ti-Jean solves the predicaments he foolishly lands in.
Recommended: 8-12 years

Such a cute collection of stories. I would caution against sharing with young readers as there are some more mature mentions of beatings, death, and imprisonment.
