The book presents a rich tapestry of folklore and legends from Brittany, immersing readers in the cultural and mystical elements that define this region. Through various characters, such as the enigmatic Charlézenn, the collection unfolds stories steeped in emotion, tragedy, and the supernatural. At the start of the work, the author introduces the character of la Charlézenn, a girl of mysterious origins and wild spirit who captivates the village boys despite her unconventional looks and humble upbringing. Described as both beautiful and uncaring of societal norms, her enchanting presence sparks rumors and tragic outcomes, including the suicide of a local boy, Cloarec Rozmar, who falls for her without ever speaking to her. The narrative hints at the tragic complexities of her life, as she navigates the aftermath of the boy's death, her troubled relationship with her caregiver Nann, and her wild adventures through the forests, ultimately leading her into encounters with local nobles and creating a profound sense of longing and entrapment. The opening establishes a haunting atmosphere that promises deeper explorations of character and myth in the following tales. (This is an automatically generated summary.)
