La Bouillie de la Comtesse Berthe est un conte du petit peuple écrit par Alexandre Dumas, le célèbre auteur des Trois Mousquetaires et du Comte de Monte-Cristo. Sur les rives du Rhin médiéval, vivait jadis une femme au grand coeur, charitable, une personne aimable, compatissante, déterminée et noble : la comtesse Berthe. Celle-ci instaura une tradition plutôt inhabituelle, une fête annuelle qui devait se tenir le premier mai de chaque année, la bouillie de la comtesse Berthe. " Je dois d'abord vous dire qu'il y avait autrefois en Allemagne une race de bons petits esprits, malheureusement disparus depuis, dont le plus grand mesurait à peine six pouces. On les appelait les Cobolds. " La Bouillie de la Comtesse Berthe est une perle rare du passé remise au goût du jour par cette nouvelle édition dans l'intérêt mais aussi pour l'amusement des lecteurs, petits et grands, où qu'ils se trouvent sur la planète Terre.
