Description

Claudine at School is the first book in Colette's enchanting series, published under her husband's name and an instant sensation in early twentieth-century France. This charming story introduces Claudine as a teenager, full of wit and spirit, as she navigates her new school life.

With her quick tongue and sharp mind, Claudine finds herself at odds with the strict headmistress, but also drawn to the kind mistress Miss Aimee. As Colette's own life experiences influenced this story, it's clear that a literary icon was born from these pages.

This beautifully written novel offers a glimpse into the life of a young girl growing up in France during a time of great change and social upheaval. With its witty dialogue and engaging characters, Claudine at School is a worthwhile read for anyone looking to discover the works of this beloved author.
