Mimi et le dragon des montagnes

Au Moyen Âge, vers l'an 1300, un tragique événement se serait produit en Allemagne. Une centaine d'enfants auraient quitté la petite ville de Hamelin pour une raison inconnue. Sur un vitrail qui a aujourd'hui disparu, on les voyait en compagnie d'un joueur de flûte. Que s'est-il passé ? Un drame a-t-il réellement eu lieu ? Nul ne le sait. Toujours est-il que cette histoire a enflammé l'imagination de Michael Morpurgo, qui, après les frères Grimm, revisite ici à sa manière et avec originalité la célèbre légende.Conteur de génie internationalement reconnu, Michael Morpurgo a publié de nombreux livres qui ont donné lieu à de multiples traductions et adaptations, au cinéma comme au théâtre (Cheval de guerre, Le Roi Arthur, Hansel et Gretel).Illustré par Emma Chichester Clark.

 Hero, a swallow, has a journey to make too. He must fly to Africa for the winter to join all the other swallows. His journey is difficult and fraught with danger.

 "I was there, " Papa Toto said, and those magic words sent shivers down my spine. It was going to be the Wizard story. "Dorothy and me were both there."We were all silent, snuggled up together, waiting, waiting. Then Papa Toto began.

 When a twister descends on their Kansas farm, Toto and his owner Dorothy hide in the house - only to be plucked into the air and whisked away!

 Coming down with a crash in the mysterious land of Oz, the pair meet a series of extraordinary characters: a scarecrow who believes he has no brains, a tin man without a heart, and a cowardly lion who may not be as cowardly as he thinks he is.

 But Toto and Dorothy are desperate to return home - after all, home is home, and home is best! So they set off with their new friends on a journey down the yellow brick road to find the only person who might be able to help them: the Wonderful Wizard of Oz.

 But what they find might surprise them. And on the way, all of them will learn that what they think they are missing might have been there, all along.

 Beautifully illustrated throughout, this is an unforgettable telling of a classic story.
