«La triste fin du petit Enfant Huître et autres histoires» is Tim Burton's book of illustrated stories, published by 10/18 in paperback, in French.
It brings together the poems and short stories the filmmaker wrote and illustrated: a gallery of lonely, strange children, from Robot Boy to the girl who became a bed, treated with black humour, cruelty and a melancholy tenderness. Rhymed texts with a tragicomic tone, between the macabre and the poetic, typical of Burton's imagination.
The original work was published in 1997 as The Melancholy Death of Oyster Boy and Other Stories; the French translation is by René Belletto and this paperback edition appeared in 1998 with 128 pages.
Recommended for adult readers and Tim Burton fans; its black humour and melancholy gaze keep it away from children's audiences, despite the child protagonists.
