Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In these three imaginative stories, Jan Andrews introduces us to Quebec's traditional folktale hero, Ti-Jean. He's an endearing character who is both wise and foolish, and though he does find hiself in hard situations (often of his own making) in the end, he somehow manages to do what needs to be done. In "Ti-Jean and the Princess of Tomboso" he eventually outwits a greedy princess; in "Ti-Jean the Marble Player" he gets the best of a pint-sized scoundrel; and in "How Ti-Jean became a Fiddler" he turns tables on a too-clever-for-her-own-good seigneur's daughter, and he finds true love.
