He's indignant: the fairy tale, borne carelessly along by the popular imagination, subjected to the transformations of oral tradition, was collected in a \u003ci\u003elamentable\u003c\/i\u003e state by the Brothers Grimm, and he intends to restore the tale and its giant-slaying, unicorn-fighting, boar-hunting star to their original magnificence. But the true hero of the story remains to be seen: Is it the tailor, the narrator, or someone else entirely? \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e In this explosive retelling of the classic tale, Éric Chevillard enlists the reader in a dizzying game of crack-the-whip, with new directions and delights in every paragraph. At once irreverent and deeply sincere, this book is a mischievous, multifarious celebration of the power of stories and those who tell them.\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eÉric Chevillard\u003c\/b\u003e (b. 1964) is an award-winning French author of over twenty works of fiction, known for his innovative prose. \u003cb\u003eJordan Stump\u003c\/b\u003e is professor of French at the University of Nebraska-Lincoln, and the translator of over thirty works of French fiction.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Pages:\u003c\/strong\u003e 200\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 0.5 x 8.2 x 5.2 IN\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePublication Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e September 27, 2022\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Books by splitShops","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51765779661088,"sku":"9780300253191","price":18.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0974\/9764\/5344\/files\/9a4a6806cbbb4b9a5a9519dd7007d4e7.webp?v=1780279777","url":"https:\/\/ebocreations.com\/products\/the-valiant-little-tailor-paperback","provider":"The E-Book Oasis LLC","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
