The great Bertrand Santini introduces us to Yark, a monster who loves children very much. But... as a gourmet! He dreams of children's buffets with ham boys and bun babies. But he is very sensitive and his stomach can only handle good guys. His liars create heartburn and the lively ones spoil his teeth. But by force he finds good children and almost starves. Then he finds sweet Madeleine. Will he devour her? Or will he escape her and change his life? Do you really need to fear Yark? Or does it win your heart? An original, subversive, poetic book with extremely intelligent humor that deals with the concept of Fear of children and how love can completely change us. Gapaillard's beautiful designs place the sensitive Yark in atmospheric, almost cinematic landscapes.
