«Poil de Carotte» is the novel by Jules Renard, published by Editions de la fonta in hardback (155 pages, in French).
The novel follows François Lepic, a red-haired boy called Poil de Carotte for his hair and freckles. His mother punishes him unfairly and prefers his other children; amid those fears and his clumsy gestures of tenderness, he grows up in a home without affection. A moving and ironic tale about childhood and family cruelty.
The story was originally published in 1894; this 1996 edition includes a frontispiece.
Suitable for readers of children's and young adult literature and for those who enjoy classics of French fiction.
Pierre-Jules Renard was a French author and member of the Académie Goncourt, most famous for the works Poil de carotte and Les Histoires Naturelles. Among his other works are Le Plaisir de rompre and the posthumously published Huit Jours à la campagne.
