Barbedor
Le roi Nabounassar III régnait sur l'Arabie Heureuse depuis plus d'un demi-siècle lorsqu'il découvrit un poil blanc mêlé au ruissellement doré de sa barbe. Or, le soir même, ce poil avait mystérieusement disparu. Et ainsi, chaque jour, un poil blanc apparaissait et, presque aussitôt, disparaissait. Quelqu'un avait-il entrepris de voler la barbe du roi ? La magie de Michel Tournier transforme cette énigme en un conte éblouissant illustré avec poésie par Georges Lemoine.
