Abstract
Like the other books in the Gai Moulin series, this book builds off of a fascinating concept: a second, longer story echoes the lesson of the fable. Here that story is La Mesaventure du Lutin Jaunet. The miserly elf Jaunet invites Propret to dinner, saying Come at seven if you can. When Propret arrives, Jaunet claims to have lost the key to his house's door, and the window is barred. He recalls his invitation --if you can-- and explains that Propret cannot come in to dine with him at seven. Propret invites him a few days later, apparently forgetting the whole incident. He has some slices of roast meat hung up in a tree. Propret bids Jaunet to come up with him and enjoy them. Jaunet suffers from acrophobia and leaves quietly. There is a good last detail picture of Propret frustrated by being locked out. Mulder appears nowhere in the booklet, but it is on both the front and the back cover.
