The Devil's Pool

Hardback. Slight foxing to end pages. Couple of small marks to cloth. Slight shelf wear to edges of D/J/ Price clipped. Translated from the French by Antonia Cowan. This book is one of the group of pastoral novel, together with Fracois le Champi, Les Maitres Sonneurs and La Petite Fadette whichGeorge Sand wrote about her own part of the countryside, Nohant in Berry. These pastoral novels represent the best of her literary output: simple stories of a country life which was becoming a thing of the past even as she wrote about it. This book is a quiet, simple story, the kind of tale that needs the touch of genius to succeed. A young child will enjoy it, while an adult will amrvel at the cunning art of simplicity at its best. 133 pp.(We carry a wide selection of titles in The Arts, Theology, History, Politics, Social and Physical Sciences. academic and scholarly books and Modern First Editions ,and all types of Academic Literature.).
