Description

The story of The Farmer's Wife tells how a woman first loses an apple in a hole in the ground, and then attempts a series of efforts to get it back. Children enjoy learning to repeat the sequence from memory, and when the story takes a sudden turn, contrary to all expectations, they also learn important lessons on how to resolve problems creatively.

The strikingly beautiful illustrations by Rose Mary Santiago invoke the origins of the story -- this traditional story has been told for hundreds of years in the Middle East and Central Asia -- while at the same time lending a uniquely playful atmosphere to this very amusing story.

L'histoire de La Femme du fermier raconte comment une femme qui a laissé tomber sa pomme dans un trou tente de la récupérer par divers moyens. Les enfants prennent plaisir à réciter de mémoire la séquence des événements, et, quand soudain il se passe quelque chose à quoi on ne s'attendait pas du tout, ils apprennent aussi une leçon importante sur la possibilité de résoudre des problèmes de manière créative.

Les superbes illustrations de Rose Mary Santiago évoquent les origines de ce conte traditionnel, raconté depuis des siècles au Moyen-Orient et en Asie centrale. Elles donnent également une atmosphère particulièrement joyeuse à cette histoire amusante.
