The President's Hat by Antoine Laurain
Dull accountant Daniel picks up Francois Mitterand's hat in a restaurant and . . . Impossible to avoid calling 'charming' this light-hearted tale of Daniel's attempts to trace it after he leaves it on a train because it is, of course, a magic hat conferring power on whoever wears it. We follow the hat's progress from person to person, changing their lives as it goes, with Daniel in pursuit. Will he get it back? Will Mitterand? I'm not telling.
