1921
Translated by Victorine Ballon
A beloved children's book written in the early 20th century. This charming story falls into the genre of children's literature and features the adventures of a young rabbit named Pierre who is notoriously curious and mischievous. The narrative explores themes of disobedience and adventure in a vivid, whimsical world populated by anthropomorphic animals. The story follows Pierre Lapin, who disobeys his mother's warning and ventures into Mr. Mac Gregor's garden, where he faces various challenges, including being chased by Mr. Mac Gregor himself. Amid his escapades, Pierre indulges in the delicious vegetables of the garden but soon finds himself in trouble, losing his jacket and shoes during a chaotic escape. Ultimately, after a series of frantic encounters, Pierre manages to return home, albeit exhausted and in trouble with his mother for his reckless behavior. This tale captures the essence of childhood curiosity and the consequences that often follow adventurous choices.
