As in a dream, a little boy encounters literary characters, who will be the source of his vocation. A beautiful tribute to Gustave Doré.

L'atelier Du Poisson Soluble

Once upon a time, in Auvergne, two high school students who were bored with their studies. They invented a story and they adapted it to the scene and published it. Thus was born L'Atelier du Poisson Soluble in 1989. His name is a reference to poetry collection Poisson Soluble by André Breton. L'Atelier du Poisson Soluble ensures itself its distribution to a vast network of booksellers

Story Enjoy's review: From a dream to another, we follow the young Gustave and his encounters with famous tales' characters. The text is clever and poetic, illustrations are fine and full of details. The album is more than just a story. It tells with sensitivity the birth of the creative process and the importance of the child's imaginary. A little gem !
