Casimir, orphaned at the age of 8 months, was raised by his grandfather, "the irascible old man." He tells us about his childhood and adolescence through the formation of the Group composed of his grandfather, "the member" (friend of the latter), Eric and Leila (Casimir friends) and Adeline (the kind with the family). Evening after evening, stories after stories, debate after debate, all decide to unite to defeat evil and the evil and do good. Various expeditions are then organized. Jean D 'Ormesson, with his usual sense of the formula, yet once enchanted me through this book. A gem of kindness, social realism and inventiveness.
