Le Braz was less interested in fantasy than in preserving a disappearing way of seeing the world, where ghosts, omens, saints and the sea existed within ordinary experience.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"718\" data-end=\"1178\"\u003eThis French edition is particularly attractive, featuring expressive monochrome and sepia illustrations throughout that complement the haunting mood of the text. Readers interested in Celtic folklore, French regional literature, or writers such as Pierre-Jakez Hélias and Jean Giono will find much to enjoy here. It is a beautiful example of twentieth-century illustrated French publishing, equally appealing as a reading copy or as an object in its own right.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"1205\" data-end=\"1445\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFrench-language illustrated hardcover in good condition.
