Publisher's Synopsis

See below for English description.

Jon Klassen nous offre un récit délicieusement macabre pour les amateurs de contes folkloriques.

Souhaitant échapper à un terrible danger, une jeune fille courageuse nommée Otilla prend la fuite. Lorsqu'elle se perd dans la forêt obscure, une maison apparaît. Dans cette grande maison abandonnée, sur une colline déserte, vit un crâne. Comme Otilla, le crâne craint quelque chose, une chose qui tente de l'attraper chaque nuit. La courageuse Otilla arrivera-t-elle à sauver son hôte... et à se sauver elle-même?

Inspiré d'un conte folklorique tyrolien, imprégné d'ombres et d'un esprit subtil, Le crâne est aussi puissant que mystérieux et troublant.

The Skull Caldecott Medalist and #1 New York Times best-selling author-illustrator Jon Klassen delivers a deliciously macabre treat for folktale fans.

In a big abandoned house, on a barren hill, lives a skull. A brave girl named Otilla has escaped from terrible danger and run away, and when she finds herself lost in the dark forest, the lonely house beckons. Her host, the skull, is afraid of something too, something that comes every night. Can Otilla save them both?

Inspired by a Tyrolean folktale and steeped in shadows and threaded with subtle wit, Le crâne is as empowering as it is mysterious and foreboding.
