Pascal Moguérou's Bel album illustré des légendes de Bretagne, published by Au Bord des Continents, is a magnificent children's collection that introduces children to the fabulous creatures and foundational myths of Brittany. This richly illustrated album is an ideal gateway to Celtic imagination for young readers.

What makes this album so powerful is its ability to summon the archetypal figures of Breton mythology: mermaids, fairies, dragons, korrigans, the Ankou (the figure of death so present in Breton folklore), and Dahut, the cursed princess of the legendary sunken city of Ys. Each creature carries a piece of the mystery and magic of secret Brittany.

Pascal Moguérou's illustrations bring these legends to life with a visual richness that nourishes children's imaginations while respecting the mysterious and sometimes unsettling atmosphere of these ancient tales. The album is presented as "a collection to browse with the family by the fireplace," thus echoing the ancestral gesture of oral storytelling.

We recommend this album to families who wish to pass on Breton legends to younger generations, to lovers of beautiful illustrated books, and to anyone who wants to introduce children to the Celtic imagination. A treasure to share by the fire.

Our rating: ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ — A magnificent album that introduces children to the fabulous creatures and myths of Brittany.
