Book Overview

Absurd fairy tales, very sensibly told There once was a good little devil - did you read that right? Yes you did: not a wicked little devil but a good one, and boy, was he in a fix Instead of doing bad things like forgetting his homework and playing tricks on his teachers, this little devil kept trying to be good. He did all his homework - and sometimes enjoyed it He was never rude and he even encouraged sinners to say sorry. His parents were at their wits' end. So the little devil struck out on his own. On his quest to learn to be good, our little devil meets all kinds of people, from priests to police and from the Pope in Rome to Little Jesus himself. But will the angels let a little red devil with black horns into Heaven? In these thirteen tales, clever young people find nifty ways to overcome greedy kings, wicked witches, unlucky spells and even silly names. And there's a big dash of magic to help them on the way This description may be from another edition of this product.

Le Gentil Petit Diable -- an excellent storybook for young readers and intermediate French students

This is an excellent book for either young French readers or those who are intermediate French students (should have completed at least first year French). The stories are a lot of fun. The verb tenses are mostly those encountered in first year French with some passé simple throw in for good measure. If you are a French student, you will learn some new vocabulary and enjoy the stories immensely. If you are already fluent in French, you will find the stories quite amusing.

A great book for children or the advanced-beginner to intermediate French language student.
