(1) 4-6 Illustrated by Dušan Petričić. Ti-Jean, cheerful, hapless stripling of French-Canadian folklore, makes a winning appearance in three tales of European origin lightly transposed to a New World setting. Andrews is a storyteller, and these zesty, well-paced texts virtually read themselves. Source notes are appended, but these are not so much retellings or even adaptations as simpatico re-imaginings. Petričić's sly drawings underpin the fun throughout.
