Romance of the Rabbit

"Romance of the Rabbit" is the highly acclaimed translation of 'Le Roman du Lièvre', one of the most delightful of French poet and author Francis Jammes' earlier books. In it he tells of Rabbit's joys and fears, of his life on this earth, of the pilgrimage to paradise with St. Francis and his animal companions, and of his death. This book was first published in 1903, and has run through many editions in France. A number of characteristic short tales and impressions of Jammes' same creative period have been added to this edition.
