Lo lop, lo diable e l'avesque - Antologia de contes gascons - Anthology of Gascony tales

(The Wolf, the Devil and the Bishop)

In all of the Gascon countries, from Albret to Béarn, from Chalosse to Bigorre, from the Landes to Armagnac, from folklorists, ethnographers and enthusiasts of the language of oc, collected stories from the popular speech.

Jean-Baptiste Laborde, Jean-Pierre Lalanne, Félix Arnaudin, Jean Palay, Honore Dambielle, Jean-Baptiste Laborde, Sylvain Lascoste, Pascal Badiolle, Félix Sarran, Roger Seillan or Eugène Daléas, turned to the writing of Occitan tales.

From this oral matter heard in the evening or in the middle of the moors and pastures, they write texts, which they sometimes transmute, which make these tales from the word of the people literary works in their own right.

Through wonderful tales, fairytales, fairy tales, it's a hike with the King of the Crows and the Man of all colors, the Mother of the Wind and the Ogre, Saint Peter and the devil, the fox and the magpie, the wolf and the troglodyte, the bishop, and the good of the parish priest whom this book invites us.
