description -
The book tells the story of Margot, a little French girl in 1918, during the Great War, who befriends an American soldier and his daughter Ruth.  Together the girls have great adventures, visiting many of France's most famous places such as Domremy - the birthplace of Joan of Arc, Monaco, Paris, Vincennes, Versailles, Nice, Rheims and more.  There are 22 2-color pastel illustrations, each one sweeter than the next. This is a delight!
