in8. broché jaquette. 1880. Dans cette Acadie lointaine qui s'éveille de son long sommeil colonial, Pélagie-la-Gribouille est un personnage. Epoux, enfants, cousins, il n'est pas un habitant du Fond-de-la-Baie sur qui elle ne règne, avec l'autorité qu'elle tient sans doute de son aïeule, l'héroïne légendaire du Grand Dérangement. Mais il suffit que débarquent entre Cocagne et Barachois un Jérôme-le-Menteux, porteur d'espoirs mirobolants, ou le mystérieux Renaud à la jambe de bois, un Français de France qui va ouvrir à la connaissance les esprits et les coeurs de ces pêcheurs candides, pour que Pélagie et les siens soient emportés vers d'étranges aventures maritimes et sentimentales, doublées d'une course au trésor fertile en réjouissantes surprises. De la parole d'Antonine Maillet, portée sans cesse par un merveilleux bonheur d'écrire, naît tout un monde foisonnant, facétieux, gai comme la vie, simple comme la terre, et vrai, et jeune, comme nous ne savons plus l'être dans les 'vieux pays'.
