There’s a telling title for you.
All similarities with our modern world are obviously meant humorously.

It’s not easy to find one’s place in a pig’s world.
On the subject of difference, it’s simply the story of a nice friendship between a pig and a wolf, characters which permit constant references to our childhood tales.

A story in seven chapters.
I wanted to revive the pleasure of reading in instalments.
When I was little, during the holidays, my grandmother used to read a chapter of a book a day to me. I loved that!

All my books feed off childhood memories, but especially this one.
School, with its breaks and its encounters with other children. The walk to school, source of adventures and unforeseen happenings. The forest, mysterious and fascinating.

In a book like this, I don’t identify specifically with one of the characters, it’s more complex than that. I am, and think we all are, a bit of both. Sometimes we are more pigs than wolves, or vice versa, but that’s yet another story.

Ask children where Louis’s parents are. The answers are sometimes surprising.

Fanfan will never catch Louis, because Louis is used to running in the woods, whereas Fanfan spends too much time in front of television eating sweets.
