C’est l’histoire d’un drôle de petit bonhomme affublé d’une trompe et amateur de pommes.

Poursuivi par les propriétaires du pommier, lapidé à coups de fruits, il fuit et tombe dans un trou béant. Abandonné à son sort, le bébé Elephant Man sera sauvé par un homme et sa fille, Miss, personnages récurrents chez Torseter.

Une histoire déjantée, à la scandinave, remarquablement illustrée par Øyvind Torseter. Un univers féérique, subtilement coloré qui parle de la différence, du rejet, de la solitude. Un livre à mettre entre les mains de tous les enfants, qu’ils soient persécuteurs ou persécutés.

Her er igjen fargespillet på sitt aller beste, digger symbolikken i bruken. Denne likte jeg utrolig godt. Litt informativ oppi det hele også med kjente skikkelser fra @oyvindtorseter sitt vakre univers.
