Born the son of a French farmer in 1734, Nicolas Restif de la Bretonne was apprenticed to a printer and made his way to Paris where he printed and sold at least 200 of his own works.

Jean Francois de La Harpe nicknamed him 'the Voltaire of the chambermaids'. He was rediscovered by the Surrealists in the early 20th century. 8vo. 8-1/8" x 5-3/4".
