Breton Holiday DW

This is very rare, the dust jacket from Breton Holiday, published in 1939. It was drawn by A. H. Watson, who also drew the dust wrappers and internal illustrations for Bernese Holiday and Highland Holiday. Thanks to Heather Lawrence for providing the scan.

Quote of the Day

Judy flicked through the pages of her history notebook. "Oh, it's too much!" she said. "French Revolution, Napoleon and the American War of Independence! How can anyone be expected to learn all about the French Revolution, Napoleon and the American War of Independence in a week! Not to mention all the Latin, French, maths, English, biology, science and geography that we have to learn as well."
"'Let them eat cake'," said Kay helpfully.
Judy stared at her. "What's that got to do with it?" she demanded.
