While on Thanksgiving vacation I happened to read Bley et sa bande by Jeanne de Cavally. Good for practicing French, thought not really a compelling book. It is a series of vignettes of life in the 1940s colonial period for a group of boys living on the coast, near the port. The boys have small adventures... think Tom Sawyer, but very short and simple. Good reading material for a village library, but published in 1985, the book is certainly nowhere available. Seems like someone should be figuring out how to get all these books back in print at $3 each. Book flood time!Jeanne de Cavally - Bley et sa bande
