Short moral stories for girls on proper conduct and behavior.

He was born with a gift of laughter and a sense that the world was mad. And that was all his patrimony. His very paternity was obscure, although the village of Gavrillac had long since dispelled the cloud of mystery that hung about it. Those simple Brittany folk were not so simple as to be deceived by a pretended relationship which did not even possess the virtue of originality. When a nobleman, for no apparent reason, announces himself the godfather of an infant fetched no man knew whence, and thereafter cares for the lad’s rearing and education, the most unsophisticated of country folk perfectly understand the situation. And so the good people of Gavrillac permitted themselves no illusions on the score of the real relationship between Andre-Louis Moreau — as the lad had been named — and Quintin de Kercadiou, Lord of Gavrillac, who dwelt in the big grey house that dominated from its eminence the village clustering below...FROM THE BOOKS.

Scaramouche PLUS Bardelys the Magnificent by Rafael Sabatini For the first time, these two great classics together for the price of 1! Rafael Sabatini was a prolific Italian writer who wrote his novels of romance and high adventure in English. Several of these very successful novels were made into notable films. Scaramouche: A Romance of the French Revolution Set during the French Revolution, this classic novel of swashbuckling adventure and sweeping romance is also a thought-provoking commentary on class, inequality, and the individual's role in society. Scaramouche, the unforgettable clown, is a comic figure with a very serious message. Scaramouche is a story that has become Rafael Sabatini's enduring legacy. In the words of one reader: "Scaramouche is a tale of revenge, an astonishing tour de force - every single page seethes with incident, color, and detail." Bardelys the Magnificent An absorbing story of love and adventure in France of the early seventeenth century. Bardelys the Magnificent is the tale of Sieur Marcel de Saint-Pol; Marquis of Bardelys, and those things which befell him in Languedoc, in the year of the Rebellion. One of the most stirring tales Sabatini ever wrote.
