Summary:
Storytellers have become legendary in Acadia. Or are there still people gathered around a storyteller who travels with his marvelous stories and faceties? On the threshold of the disappearance of the Acadian oral literature, the father anselme Chaiasson, a folklorist, devoted many years of his life to safeguard this popular culture. Tales he collected during the years 1960-1963, father anselme delivers us his last tank of the islands of the madeleine: the yellow dwarf, 18 tales and faceties which, if they do not offer more, by the medium of the writing, the brilliancy of voices of the joyous conteru and his waiting audience, preserve, by a judicious transcription, the flavor of the language of the first and the drollery of the savage temperament of the madelinots.
