"La carrosse aux deux lézards verts" by René Boylesve is a novel written in the early 20th century. The book intricately weaves themes of magic and pastoral life as it explores the interactions between the common folk—a woodcutter named Gilles, his wife, and their twin daughters—and the fantastical elements that disrupt their lives. The opening immerses readers in a world where the boundaries between reality and fantasy blur, establishing a foundation for a narrative rich with whimsy and commentary on human nature. The opening of the novel presents the humble life of woodcutter Gilles and his wife, who, after a long period of childlessness, are blessed with twins, Gillette and Gillonne. The narrative begins with the couple's journey through the woods to baptize their daughters, disrupted by an encounter with a mysterious woman in distress, who turns out to be the fairy Malice. Their small adventure quickly spirals into a series of magical events that lead to the appearance of an enchanting carrosse pulled by green lizards—a fantastical sight that hints at the changes to come in their lives. This initial chapter sets the tone for a story that promises to blend folkloric elements with the everyday struggles of a rural family. (This is an automatically generated summary.)
