This is the story of Babin and his fellow
villagers: Toussaint Brodeur the Fly-tamer, a
blacksmith in love with a widow from St. Barnabé
who cheats on him with the old priest; Méo the
hairdresser whose love for the bottle gives his
customers strange hairdos; Madame Gélinas, who has
been pregnant for the last two decades and who
can?t seem to make her cakes rise anymore; the
beautiful Anna Domini who has been crying her eyes
out and peeling petals off daisies ever since her
true love went to War; and, last but not least,
Babin, the Witch?s son, at odds with the strict
new priest. Discover the world of Fred Pellerin, a
place where oxen can fall in love and where a
clock can grow from where a pocket watch is sown.
