A collection rooted in real places
The Tales of Zoufftgen form a collection of children's books, written and illustrated by Hélène Hardy. Each story takes root in a real place of the village, between memory and imagination.
A carefully crafted edition
The books in the collection are designed with particular care:
- hardcover
- thick, matte-finish interior paper
- delicate finishes (selective varnish, gilding)
Each book is conceived as an object in its own right, meant to be kept, given, and passed on.
