«Les contes de la Saint-Glinglin» is the short story collection by Robert Escarpit, published by Livre de Poche Jeunesse in paperback (224 pages, in French).
The book brings together humorous tales that tell the origin of French expressions such as «se revoir à la saint-glinglin», «manger à la Bonne Franquette» and «prendre la poudre d'escampette». Amid sayings and absurd situations, the mysterious poudre du Père Limpinpin seems to have cast a spell on these pages.
