Labyrinte de Versailles 1677
(Editions du Moniteur, 1677)

Labyrinte de Versailles

Finding this book was a terrific surprise! Laurence Veyrier had shown me a number of fable books. As I finished, she mentioned offhand that I probably would not be interested in the Versailles labyrinth. I have looked ...
