319s - Indbi..en slagsshirting, med smudsomslag. - som ny. - illustreret med mange storartede farvefotos Mr. Ardagh, and a very capable photographer, Mayotte Magnus, have produced a truly extraordinary book that deserves a 6-star rating.

There is a beautiful photo over the Lac du Bourget, highlighting the "cat's tooth," which served as a background for Rousseau's "Confessions" in nearby Chambery. The "giants" of French literature,
