About this book
Légendes pour les enfants by Unknown opens a door to a lively world of French folklore, arranged for young ears by Paul Boiteau and brought to life with the spirit of 19th-century popular tales. This charming audiobook collects six classic legends—Le roi Dagobert, Geneviève de Brabant, Robert le Diable, Jean de Paris, Griselidis, and Le Juif errant—retold as accessible, imaginative stories that blend humor, moral lessons, and the wonder of medieval settings.
Rooted in the long tradition of the Bibliothèque bleue, these tales reflect how popular literature shaped childhood reading for generations, offering a window into historic beliefs, archetypal characters, and the rhythms of oral storytelling. The tone balances adventure and tenderness, making complex themes—duty, fidelity, fate, and redemption—understandable without diluting their mystery. Narration in audiobook form highlights each legend’s atmosphere, preserving the quaint charm and moral warmth that made these stories beloved.
Ideal for families, teachers, and listeners who love children’s fiction, myths and legends, or classic French folklore, this audiobook is perfect for bedtime, classroom listening, or anyone seeking a gentle, timeless collection of tales that sparks curiosity and imagination.
