«Les Contes de la Saint-Glinglin» is Robert Escarpit's collection of short stories, published by Hachette in paperback (196 pages, in French).
The book brings together short tales that explain the origin of French expressions such as «à la saint-glinglin», «manger à la Bonne Franquette», «en catimini» or «prendre la poudre d'escampette». Each story turns an everyday saying into a small humorous adventure, with a fairy-tale tone and a highly imaginative approach.
The edition reproduces the complete text and is aimed at readers aged 10 and up. The work was originally published in 1973.
Recommended for young readers and for those who enjoy French literature and wordplay.
