What a delightul little book. It's actually two versions - the translated English as well as the original French. I read the English version (all 80 pages) in less than an hour last night; the French version took a bit longer. :) It's a beautiful story - short, sweet and poignant.
This is going out to jamesmum for inclusion in the "Kiwi M-Bag" for FutureCat. Enjoy!
Into the m-bag for FutureCat - thanks!

Journal Entry 7 by futurecat from Christchurch, Canterbury New Zealand on Saturday, February 19, 2005
A lovely little short novel about clowns, the French Resistance, dignity, mercy, and humanity. Some very large ideas deeply explored in a small number of words. I just wish my French was good enough to be able to read the original...
Reserved for release at the NZBC Convention.

What a great inclusion in my goodie bag. I will keep this to read and release in Australia. A wonderful NZ convention - flashmobbing, mystery bus tour, celebratory debate and walking tour all combined with good food and good friends.MarciNYC we had a great New York connection with thebibilioholic joining us and our time spent at the only official World Trade Centre monument outside USA - a moving monument in a beautiful, peaceful place.
A lovely book which I read in one sitting (at the hairdresser's!). The horrors of war translated into people, personalities and humanity. The gentle German guard (who in normal life was a clown) gave his French captives good advice so they could avoid death and his legacy stayed with one of them for the remainder of his life and was taken up by his son.
A beautiful and poignant story, too lovely to wild release so I shall pass this on to someone at our next meetup - thanks for sharing marciNYC and for sending jamesmum.
