"Putois" by Anatole France is a playful story about a family whose lives are touched by an imaginary gardener, Putois. Through witty conversations, Monsieur Bergeret and his family ponder weighty ideas about what is real and how a good story can shape our world. Putois, initially a simple character, grows into a figure of myth and legend, embodying the power of shared beliefs and the many layers of reality. The book, with its lighthearted yet thoughtful tone, considers how our minds create stories and how these stories influence our lives and communities, blurring the lines between what we see and what we believe.
