Although the book's title is 'Ricky of the Tuft', it does not have much to do with Perrault's tale, or at least it has more than a modern and funny twist.

Déodat is an extremely intelligent and terribly ugly young man. Trémière is an otherwordly beautiful and discrete young lady. Their qualities make them both society outcasts. They are destined to meet.

A not very enthusiastic "yes", though.
I have recently read three books by this author and this is the one I like best. But I am not a fan. Her prose is lacking something, it seems a bit plain at times.
But this one is short and entertaining.

The new Amélie and other books. Loot from yesterday's fall season booksellers and librarians day.
