Life In Normandy: Sketches Of French Fishing,… par John Francis Campbell
What a fun research read! It is essentially a food-focused travelogue of two friends traveling in Normandy, published soon after their deaths in the 1850s. It’s an incredibly easy read for the period, full of vivid characters and detailed explanations about harvesting marine life along the shore. There’s one tense bit where the men walked out too far on the sand and a local young girl saves them as the tides floods back in. For my research needs, I love that the top of each page references the general theme of the story beneath.… (plus d'informations)
Skill levels among the readers varied widely, generally stripping the stories of their intended humor or romance.
This is NOT written as a children's book. The language in this book is written in Old English and reads more like a Shakepearean sonnet. I bought this to add to my young son's library, but it is not appropriate for that. I'm sure however that adults who can read Old English with ease would find this book entertaining.
The stories were good, and some were new to me; but there were a great many variations on the tale of the giant/monster/creature whose soul was kept in a succession of animals within each other, and the hero was helped by three animals on his way--though some of the variations were different enough to be quite interesting despite the great similarities.
