Hardcover. Condition: Very Good. Dust Jacket Condition: Good. Susanne Suba (illustrator). 1st Edition. Little Coquette, The Story of a French Girlhood was written by Renee de Fontarce McCormick, translated by Leander J. McCormick and has decorations by Susanne Suba. The book was published by Houghton Mifflin Company in 1944 and appears to be an American First Edition but is not specifically stated as such. It's not an ex-library copy, the book is in very good condition (with the name of a previous owner stamped atop the front loose end page), and the dust jacket is in good + condition. The book is 5 1/4" by 8" and has 295 pages with black-and-white decorations and illustrations. "Exquisitely translated by the author's American husband, Little Coquette will charm many readers by its nostalgic fragrance; appall many by its ruthless picture of decadence; and fascinate all by the liveliness, wit, and perfection of style with which it is told." Thank you!
