Les contes d'un conteur #[nn]

A warmly rendered Arabian Nights–flavored world comes to life on Carali's cover, where a turbaned, purple-robed storyteller strides across a sun-drenched desert landscape, hauling a wooden litter bearing a slumbering (or perhaps enchanted) figure, with a domed mosque silhouetted against a vivid sunset sky. A curious little pink creature peeks up from the sand in the foreground, adding a touch of whimsy to the scene. Published by Le Square–Albin Michel in 1981, this French album promises a playful, humorous take on the tradition of the traveling tale-spinner.
