Excerpt from Fabliaux, ou Contes, Fables Et Romans du Xiie Et du Xiiie Siècle, Vol. 3
Jadis fut un villain qui, à force d'avarice et de travail, avoit amassé quelque bien. Outre du blé et du vin en abondance, outre de bon argent, il avoit encore dans son écurie quatre chevaux et huit boeufs. Malgré cette fortune cependant il ne songeoit point à se marier. Ses amis et ses voisins lui en faisoient souvent des reproches; il s'excusoit en disant que, s'il rencontroit une bonne femme, il la prendroit. Eux se char gèrent de lui choisir la meilleure au moins qu'on pourroit trouver, et en conséquence ils firent quelques recherches.

Summary
- As Allied forces fight the enemy on Europe's war-torn beaches, another
battle begins in a child's bedroom in Brooklyn when the nightmarish Boogeyman
snatches a boy and takes him to the realm of The Dark. The child's playthings,
led by the toy soldier known as the Colonel, band together to stage a daring
rescue. On their perilous mission they will confront the boy's bitter and
forgotten toys, as well as betrayal in their own ranks. The Stuff of
Legend is a haunting and ultimately redemptive tale of loyalty, camaraderie,
and perseverance.

New York Times bestselling graphic novel The Stuff of Legend
(The Dark and The Jungle) in one beautiful, 260-page edition. The
