La forêt enchantée

Chanson de fée
Le pique-nique des porcs-épics
Après la pluie
Le bal des farfadets
La mémoire des séquoias
Triste gnome
Quatre coccinelles dans un champ de fraises
Rêverie d'un hibou et monologue d'une sitelle
Fête chez les lutins
La grotte du chaman
Pour une nymphe en allée
Le vol blanc du harfang
