How did Tizan manage to change a grasshopper into a cow? How can an elephant and a whale both be convinced that a small hare is much stronger than them? This collection gathers the popular characters belonging to Mauritian oral history, such as Tizan, Mister Jaco, the tortoise and the hare. Some of the nine funny and cunning tales composing this book are an adaptation of the 19th century tales of Charles Baissac.
Atelier des Nomades was founded in 2010 by Corinne Fleury and Anthony Vallet. Their purpose is to enhance the cultural and natural heritage of Mauritius, improving cultural exchange and promoting a cross-fertilization of ideas.
