At first glance, Paul-Émile Dumoulin seems like a perfectly ordinary librarian. He is serious, proud, and deeply concerned with order: his shelves are immaculate and every book is in its proper place. The catch is that whenever he opens a book, reality disappears and gives way to the slightly wild worlds he discovers through his reading. As the adventures unfold, the wise librarian transforms himself into a series of strange and whimsical characters, performing acrobatics, balancing acts, juggling, breakdance, and beatbox. How far will reading take him?
