Rescued from the freebie table at the thrift shop after I was told anything thing left on that table at closing time would get pitched.
Paperback: apparently a medieval French love story in verse. This edition appears to have dual text (like some Shakespeare editions I've seen): the original medieval French and a modern French translation by Jean Dufournet.
I'm going to try to send it to a place with more people who read French than Hawaii!

Mailed out as a late Birthday RABCK for someone who is more likely to read it than I am (at least she reads French)! ;)

Got it today!
Many thanks for everything that came along with the book. I am looking forward to read this book with a dual text - should be interesting to read very old French along with modern French!

Oh gosh, I really tried reading this book. But being written in old French – and though it did have a version in modern French – I couldn’t get into the story. Maybe it’s because of the time it comes from (12th century) or the fact we don’t know anything about whom may have written it, it doesn’t change the fact that after 15 pages, I couldn’t get into it. So, I gave up. Nothing more to say about it.
