Irresistibly funny and nostalgic, but with a twist of underlying tension, this is a classic pastoral novella brought brilliantly to life by the magical partnership of Suskind and Sempe. "A sweet and rambling story rooted deeply in the melancholy of memory. A rare and delightful book" - Andrew Miller
This classic pastoral novella from the author of "Perfume" is given added atmosphere with the drawings of Jean-Jacques Sempe.
