Synopsis
Fattypuffs and Thinifers (in French, Patapoufs et Filifers) is a children's book written in 1930 by the French writer André Maurois. It concerns the imaginary underground land of the fat and congenial Fattypuffs and the thin and irritable Thinifers, which is visited by two brothers, the plump Edmund and the thin Terry. The Fattypuffs and Thinifers do not mix, and their respective countries are on the verge of war when Edmund and Terry make their visit.
