Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from The Boy Life of Napoleon, Afterwards Emperor of the French
The name of Madame Eugenie Foa has been a familiar one in French homes for more than a genera tion. Forty years ago she was the most popular writer of historical stories and sketches, especially designed for the boys and girls of France. Her tone is pure, her morals are high, her teachings are direct and effec tive. She has, besides, historical accuracy and dramatic action; and her twenty books for children have found welcome and entrance into the most exclusive of French homes. The publishers of this American adaptation take pleasure in introducing Madame Poa's work to American boys and girls, and in this Napoleonic renaissance are particularly favored in being able to reproduce her excellent story of the boy Napoleon.
