About this ebook
The story of this mysterious young woman is surrounded by legends and begins when her body is discovered in the Sinai five hundred years after her death. In the fifteenth century, she appears to Joan of Arc and Margaret of Burgundy. And even today, the Catherinettes celebrate November 25 around the world by wearing extravagant hats.
Author
Brigitte Paturzo
Every winter for almost twenty years, Brigitte has traveled riding her camel through the Sahara of southeast Algeria and southwest Libya. She has learned Arabic, and Tamahaq, the Tuareg language. Her passion for both cultures comes from her childhood in Algiers.The desert inspires her. It is very present in her book “Between stones and skies in the Libyan Desert”, as in her stories for children, in which she relates the adventures of a young camel, Couscous, and which are illustrated with her own gouaches.Brigitte lives and works in Nice, France.
