Excerpt from La Belle-Nivernaise, The Story Of A River-Barge And Its Crew: Edited With Introd, And Notes By James Boïelle It is to the courtesy of Messrs. George Routledge and Sons (than whose English illustrated Edition of Alphonse Daudet's little masterpiece no better gift-book can be imagined) that this charming idyll owes its appearance as a school-book. We know of no more striking example of a great intellect coming down to the level of a child of tender years (the book is dedicated to and written for the author's son, a boy of ten), and telling in short, simple and pithy sentences, pregnant with meaning, the story of the loving sympathy of the poor for their poorer and more defenceless brethren, which Victor Hugo has recorded in immortal verse in his well-known poem 'Les Pauvres Gens.' The Editor has no hesitation in saying that it is the ideal book for the junior classes of High Schools, and the higher classes of Preparatory Schools, which during an experience of seventeen years he has been seeking for.
