This collection (published in bilingual Estonian-French) reveals for the first time to the French reader a part of his work that has not yet been translated: his short stories. Just as in his novels, Andrus Kivirähk enjoys revisiting myths or stories known to everyone in a humorous way. Most of the texts gathered here are somewhat crazy sequels to famous tales. The wolf who fell into the pot of the three little pigs returns to haunt them after his death and addresses them a curious request. The Snow Queen fashions a horrible monster to terrorize humans, with unexpected consequences. Little Thumbelina faces the anger of the Prince of Flowers' ex. Pinocchio falls madly in love with a wooden statue of the Virgin Mary. In the last story, to allow God to resurrect the dead on Judgment Day, the angels ask the worms to restore the bodies they had devoured.
