Here are a few fables, both instructive, edifying and a bit silly. Written by Conrad the crow. A crow that writes, that surprises you? What about an anemone that adds up, a dromedary that goes into business or a snail that drives a motorcycle? Read instead, and you will see...

If Jean de la Fontaine were still alive, he would be happy to see that he has now been succeeded in the field of fables.

The extravagant fables of Conrad the crow is a collection as funny as it is offbeat. Pierrette Dubé slips into the skin of this observant author and signs one of her funniest works by playing with the codes of the fable. Each story presents characters who will teach readers, through a series of trials, a moral that is not always relevant, but oh so amusing. Audrey Malo brilliantly puts this absurd universe into images, giving life to these completely surprising situations.
