How does an insignificant, grayish little hen transform into a sparkling Frankish Hen with shimmering pearls in her feathers? The Peacock hires the hen at his jewelry store, unaware of what is about to unfold: the king's visit, a daring robbery, the arduous search for the thief, and finally, the unexpected arrival of a day filled with glory and praise.

As for the little hen, the ending will be particularly... bright for her! Axel Scheffler returns with an adventure full of beautiful illustrations. At the end of the book, Rosa Scheffler provides us with instructions to create the heroes of the story using beads.
