Best known for her fairy tale illustrations, here Segur tells a funny tale: a fantasy told to the author by her turtle, in which the little pig Cochonnet is so embarrassed when he's called on to recite that he wants disappear. He does, visits a magical land both kind and frightening, and becomes a good student when he returns. The story inspires some of Ségur's most whimsical illustrations full of beautiful colour and detail. A large, beautiful book and an amusing view of a traditional French school.
