«Les Gens de Schilda» is the classic children's tale by Erich Kästner, published by Editions Gallimard in paperback (88 pages, in French).
In medieval Germany, the inhabitants of Schilda earn a reputation for foolishness: they build a town hall without windows, hold a trial against a crab, and set fire to their own city for fear of a cat. The whole country laughs at them, but the story leaves it open whether they were as foolish as they seemed.
French edition of «Die Schildbürger» (1954), a work by Erich Kästner; this French edition was published in 1977 in the Folio Junior collection.
Recommended for readers aged 9 to 12; the work's humor makes adults laugh and think too.
Emil Erich Kästner was a German writer, poet, screenwriter and satirist, known primarily for his humorous, socially astute poems and for children's books including Emil and the Detectives and Lisa and Lottie.
