Mrs. Legey, doctor in Morocco from 1910 and for more than 25 years, there nursed thousands of people and contributed to the creation of dispensaries and maternity hospitals in several towns in the country. By collecting tales and legends, from the most authentic sources, translating and publishing them, she opens French-speakers to the imaginary of a nation. Defining herself as an "Apprentice folklorist," Mrs. Legey also contributes to the preservation of a rich patrimony.
