«Sept Contes» is a collection of seven short stories by Michel Tournier, published by Editions Gallimard in paperback (161 pages, in French).
«Sept Contes» brings together seven short stories, including «Pierrot ou les secrets de la nuit», «Amandine ou les deux jardins» and «La fugue du petit Poucet». Michel Tournier declared that if even children could read it, he had given his best; for that reason he sought a clear, brief prose close to the fable.

The book is aimed at readers aged 9 to 12, according to the reading age indicated in the edition.

His inspirations included traditional German culture, Catholicism and the philosophies of Gaston Bachelard. He resided in Choisel and was a member of the Académie Goncourt. His autobiography has been translated and published as The Wind Spirit. He was on occasion in contention for the Nobel Prize in Literature.
