Malvina of Brittany is a historical novel written by Jerome K. Jerome. The book is set in the 11th century and follows the story of Malvina, a young woman who is the daughter of a Breton lord. Malvina is forced to marry a Norman nobleman, but she is determined to resist his advances and maintain her independence.The novel explores the political and cultural tensions between the Bretons and the Normans, as well as the struggles faced by women in a patriarchal society. Malvina is a strong and resourceful character who must navigate the complex web of alliances and betrayals in order to protect herself and her people.Jerome K. Jerome is best known for his humorous writing, but Malvina of Brittany is a departure from his usual style. The book is a serious historical novel that offers a vivid portrait of life in medieval Brittany. It is a gripping tale of love, betrayal, and political intrigue that will appeal to fans of historical fiction.Malvina appears to have been interested in watching what she probably regarded as some novel breed of dragon being nourished from tins extricated from under her feet, but to have accepted this, together with all other details of the flight, as in the natural scheme of things. The monster refreshed, tugged, spurned the ground, and rose again with a roar; and the creeping sea rushed down.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
