“Get lost!” Come back ! Welcome to our place, make yourself at home! […] Black girl, would you put a log in the stove? Because there, my pits and my pitounes, we are here for a while. I have so many stories to tell you! » From Lady Godiva who crossed the city naked on her horse to stand up to her miserly husband, to the emperor Honorius more concerned about the fate of his hen than his empire overthrown by the Visigoths, Around the wood stove. Selected bits of the real story told by Matante Poêle, these are 25 stories drawn from different eras and countries. Taking on the role of Matante Poêle, handling orality with audacity, Catherine St-Laurent knits colorful stories in a colorful language and a new perspective.
