“La Mère Michel” from Vieilles chansons pour les petits enfants by Charles-Marie Widor.

Featured on PDR in the essay Lustucru: From Severed Heads to Ready-Made Meals

Jé Wilson charts the migration of the Lustucru figure through the French cultural imagination — from misogynistic blacksmith bent on curbing female empowerment, to child-stealing bogeyman, to jolly purveyor of packaged pasta.
