«Le pays où l'on n'arrive jamais» is the young-adult novel by André Dhôtel, published by Gallimard jeunesse in paperback (275 pages, in French).
Young Gaspard, destined by his aunt to a life of routine, is torn from his world by an eccentric barber and a piebald horse. In a country where everything seems strange, he ends up playing draughts with the son of a collector of cat whiskers and discovers that the marvellous mingles with the unsettling.
The work, originally published in 1955, was awarded the Prix Femina. This edition belongs to the Folio Junior Édition Spéciale collection, number 464.
Recommended for readers aged 9 to 12 looking for a fantastical and adventurous narrative.
