Venu récupérer son ombre abandonnée lors d'une précédente visite, Peter se trouve face à Wendy.

Peter Pan est un personnage fictif créé par l'auteur écossais J. M. Barrie, apparu pour la première fois dans le roman The Little White Bird (Le Petit Oiseau Blanc), en 1902.

Adventures of Huckleberry Finn (often shortened to Huck Finn) is a novel written by American humorist Mark Twain. It is commonly used and accounted as one of the first Great American Novels. It is also one of the first major American novels written using Local Color Regionalism, or vernacular, told in the first person by the eponymous Huckleberry "Huck" Finn, best friend of Tom Sawyer and hero of three other Mark Twain books. The book is noted for its colorful description of people and places along the Mississippi River. By satirizing Southern antebellum society that was already a quarter-century in the past by the time of publication, the book is an often scathing look at entrenched attitudes, particularly racism. The drifting journey of Huck and his friend Jim, a runaway slave, down the Mississippi River on their raft may be one of the most enduring images of escape and freedom in all of American literature.

"Botchan" is a novel written by Natsume Sōseki (real name: Kin'nosuke Natsume) in 1906. Among the classics of modern Japanese literature, "Botchan" is probably the most frequently read novel and the most often anthologized work in Japan. Its action is set in the 1890’s, during the Meiji Restoration, when Japan was making its cataclysmic metamorphosis from a cloistered feudal state to a major modern world power. The novel focuses on a few months in the experience of a neophyte teacher nicknamed Botchan (young master). Born and educated in Tokyo, he has accepted a job teaching mathematics at a middle school in provincial Shikoku. Botchan’s personality, values, and Tokyo manners clash with those of his new environment, and out of this conflict Sseki spins a comic tale that satirizes contemporary Japanese mores. The novel is narrated in the first person, and a substantial portion of its humor stems from Botchan’s verbose and vigorous Tokyo dialect, which, by all accounts, Sōseki has brilliantly captured...

Once lived a king and a queen whose only dream was to finally have a child. Their dream came true and the queen gave birth to a breathtaking beauty. They invited all of the fairies in the land but forgot about one. She was so furious that she cursed the poor little girl. She was going to prick her hand with a spindle, and die of it. Fortunately one of the good godmothers managed to lessen the curse. If such thing happened, the girl was not going to die. She was just going to sleep for a 100 years. The king did everything he could to get rid of every spindle and spinning wheel. But the curse was stronger than that. And when the girl turned sixteen, she pricked her hand and fell asleep. Who disenchanted the girl and what followed after that? Find out in "The Sleeping Beauty". Charles Perrault (1628-1703) was a French author.

Lorsque la petite sirène atteint l'âge de quinze ans, elle est autorisée à nager jusqu'à la surface pour contempler le monde extérieur. Elle aperçoit un navire avec un beau prince de son âge. Une tempête se déclenche, le navire chavire et le prince tombe à l'eau. Elle le sauve en le ramenant, inconscient, au rivage. Mais une jeune femme surgit et la sirène s'éclipse. Le prince, à son réveil, aperçoit la jeune femme et pense qu'elle l'a sauvé. Surprise de découvrir que les hommes ne respirent pas sous l'eau et meurent très vite, elle questionne sa grand-mère.

Pour cela, lui dit sa grand-mère, elle doit se faire aimer et épouser d'un homme...

Heureusement, le benjamin de la fratrie, surnommé Petit Poucet en raison de sa petite taille, espionne la conversation. Prévoyant, il se munit de petits cailloux blancs qu'il laissera tomber un à un derrière lui afin que lui et ses frères puissent retrouver leur chemin. Le lendemain, le père met son sinistre plan à exécution. Mais le petit poucet et ses frères regagnent vite leur logis grâce aux cailloux semés en chemin. Les parents sont heureux de les revoir. Mais ce bonheur ne dure que peu de temps. Lorsqu'ils se retrouvent dans la précarité première, les parents décident à nouveau d'abandonner leurs sept enfants dans la forêt. Ils s'assurent d'enfermer le petit poucet afin qu'il ne puisse pas ramasser des cailloux. C'est ainsi que lui et ses frères se retrouvent perdus dans la forêt. Le petit poucet arrivera-t-il à sauver encore ses sept frères ? Il vaut mieux être rusé et astucieux, que né riche !

Le Chat botté

Ce livre raconte l'histoire de cinq des ballets les plus appréciés et les plus célèbres du monde. Il plaira à de nombreux enfants, mais surtout à ceux qui s'intéressent au ballet et à la danse, au chant, au théâtre, au patinage sur glace ou à tout autre type d'art du spectacle. Il s'adresse également aux parents qui souhaitent initier leurs enfants aux arts du spectacle culturels et traditionnels. Ces histoires de ballet sont des histoires charmantes et magiques pour les enfants, surtout s'ils s'intéressent au ballet, au théâtre et aux spectacles, et s'ils veulent aller voir un ballet en direct. Comme les ballets n'ont pas de mots et qu'ils utilisent uniquement la musique de danse et le mime pour transmettre ce qui se passe, sans connaître l'histoire à l'avance, n'importe qui peut être complètement perdu. Votre enfant connaîtra donc déjà l'intrigue de ces ballets et opéras très célèbres dans le monde entier à partir de ces nouvelles, s'il en regarde un en ligne ou s'il va voir l'un d'eux en direct (et vous aussi, si vous le souhaitez). Chaque représentation de ballet est une interprétation artistique différente. Parfois, même certains des détails les plus élémentaires de l'intrigue, des scènes et des personnages sont complètement modifiés, mais ils restent généralement fidèles à l'intrigue principale. Nous avons basé ces histoires pour enfants sur les intrigues générales de base, les plus convenues, de ces cinq ballets. Il n'y a que quelques fois où nous les avons légèrement modifiées et nous l'avons fait savoir assez clairement. Beaucoup de ballets contiennent des tragédies ou de la violence, et on peut dire qu'ils contiennent des modèles négatifs, ainsi que des thèmes et des sujets qui ne conviennent pas aux intérêts des enfants. Les ballets présentés dans ces histoires courtes pour enfants ont donc été choisis parmi les meilleurs ballets pour enfants, ceux qu'ils sont le plus susceptibles d'aimer et d'apprécier. Offrez à votre enfant ces histoires de ballet magiques et mondialement connues.
