La Petite Emigrée, Conte. Mélé d’Anecdotes Amusantes et de Conversations Instructives; traduit de l’Anglois de Miss Lucy Peacock, sur la 4e Edition

Book Description

Paris: Constant Le Tellier Fils, 1826. [iv], 167pp., 18mo. Engraved frontispiece, with the half-title. Contemporary tree sheep; rebacked with most of the original spine and a clumsy new gilt label. First edition in French, rare, and an appropriate title for a French translation as the story concerns the young victim of a French shipwreck and her friendship with the daughter of a Norfolk curate. Lucy Peacock was one of the more successful writers of children's fiction of the period; she was also the proprietress of a children’s bookshop. The first edition of this novel appeared in 1799, for which see Osborne, p. 921. COPAC locates the Bodley copy of this translation, OCLC none.
