Histoire du chien de Brisquet / The Story of Brisquet's Dog

In the snowbound Forest of Lions, Brisquet the woodcutter lives modestly with his wife, Brisquette, their two young children, and a devoted black-and-tan dog called the Bichonne. When wolves begin prowling through the forest, Brisquet warns his family to keep the children and their eager companion safely at home until the danger has passed.

One evening, however, Brisquet is delayed, and worry sends Biscotin and Biscotine out along separate paths to look for him. The Bichonne soon follows, while their parents fear the children may have wandered into the wolves’ territory. This short, tender folktale blends rustic detail, suspense, and gentle humor as a family is tested by the harshness of winter and the loyalty of a beloved dog. The text is presented in French alongside an English translation, making it accessible to listeners who wish to enjoy its simple language and old-world atmosphere.
