«Anticontes de fées» is the children's story anthology by Grégoire Solotareff and illustrated by Nadja, published by L'Ecole des Loisirs in hardcover.
The volume brings together three tales that reinterpret classic stories from their secondary characters: the ugly sister of Sleeping Beauty, Barbe-Rose, the cheerful and hidden brother of Bluebeard, and a Little Green Riding Hood who tries to save the reckless Little Red Riding Hood. The tone is ironic and humorous.
Published in 2009, the volume has 122 pages, is in French and belongs to the Mouche collection.
Aimed at early readers aged 6 to 9, with stories that turn traditional tales upside down.
Grégoire Solotareff is a French artist, writer and illustrator of children's books. Solotareff practiced as a doctor from 1978 to 1985, before beginning his career as an illustrator with Hatier. The publication of his Loulou series from 1989 marked a turning point in his career, showcasing the bold lines and flat primary colours, inspired by Matisse and Van Gogh, that he would become known for. Loulou has sold over a million copies worldwide, but was only translated into English for the first time in 2017.
