Jean-Luc Fromental Robêêrt The memoirs of a sheep like no other: a coming-of-age novel with a very british sense of humour.
Robêêrt is a French sheep, a simple farm sheep. However, thanks to his thirst for knowledge and his ability to observe, the lamb soon becomes the pupil of a shepherd dog. As he becomes bullied by the rest of the flock, Robêêrt is relieved to enter the Great House, but turns into a living cuddly toy for spoiled little girls. His adventure continues in England! At “Strawberries Stables”, he meets the luminous Jenny, a human with a big heart who teaches him how to read. He is now the pet sheep of Dash of the Nostril, a presumptuous but insomniac racehorse. Our friend, far from being stupid, has a very good influence on the prestigious stallion. His mission? Calm the champion thanks to his lullabies and other readings. His presence is crucial: Dash will face his greatest rival, lady champion Lady Castamere, in Ascot. Will love take precedence over competition?...
