Second instalment of the Figaro trilogy, which begins with The Barber of Seville and ends with The Guilty Mother. Folio Plus Classique edition with a dossier by Alain Sandrier and an image reading by Sophie Barthélémy.
Recommended for secondary school classes; used as school reading in French literature.
