The Little Marquise: Madame Lafayette by Hazel Hutchins Wilson is a biographical children's book that tells the story of Marie-Madeleine Pioche de La Vergne, also known as Madame Lafayette. The book is set in 17th century France and follows the life of the young Marie-Madeleine as she grows up to become a celebrated writer and political figure.The story begins with Marie-Madeleine as a child, living in a grand chateau with her aristocratic family. Despite her privileged upbringing, Marie-Madeleine is a curious and intelligent child who loves to read and learn. As she grows older, she becomes increasingly interested in the world outside her sheltered existence, and begins to question the social and political inequalities that she sees around her.The book follows Marie-Madeleine's journey as she becomes a writer and an advocate for social justice, and eventually marries the famous French general, Lafayette. Along the way, she faces many challenges and obstacles, including the disapproval of her family and the dangers of the French Revolution.The Little Marquise: Madame Lafayette is a beautifully illustrated and engaging book that introduces young readers to the life and legacy of a remarkable woman. Through Marie-Madeleine's story, children will learn about French history, literature, and the power of perseverance and courage.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
