Book synopsis

Excerpt from Tales of the Untamed: Dramas of the Animal World DE Goupil a Margot, Histoires de Betes, published in 1910 by the Mercure dc Frames, secured for its author, Monsieur Louis Pergaud, the Prix de Goncourt of 5 0 0 0 francs, instituted by Edmond Goncourt, and awarded annually by the Académie Goncourt for the greatest piece of imagina tive writing of the year. I reported to Mr. Eveleigh Nash that it would be impossible to translate Monsieur Pergaud's stories into English; but that it might be possible to adapt them in such a manner as to preserve the spirit of them in an English setting. Tales of the Untamed is the result of my endeavour in this direction. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
