In a magnificent hymn to nature, George Sand introduces us to the magical power of kindness. It’s a lovely tale of Emmi, a very unhappy little pig keeper, who finds refuge in the hollow of an old oak tree. An old oak tree said to be evil! But thanks to it, Emmi will find wealth, love and friendship.
But what secret memory of her childhood did George Sand draw on to write it? When she was a child in Nohant, didn’t she have a friend in the form of an old pig keeper whom she mistook for a gnome from the depths of the earth? A giant gnome called… Pleasure?
