  • "La 4ème de couverture indique : "L'Europe est sur le point de basculer dans la guerre. Le jeune David est trop petit pour comprendre la politique, mais il n'en ressent pas moins l'inquiétude qui, chaque jour, mine un peu plus les traits de son père. Le garçon se retrouve livré à lui-même, seul avec Rose, celle qui a remplacé sa mère défunte. Mais un jour, la voix de cette dernière l'appelle, elle est là, toute proche, quelque part au fond du jardin, dans ce tronc creux qui, hier encore, n'était pas là... Et voilà David aspiré dans un autre monde, peuplé de créatures tout droit sorties des contes qu'il lit à longueur de journée. Un lieu magique et violent où, au détour de chaque chemin, le guette un danger qu'il doit affronter s'il veut un jour rentrer chez lui.""
