{"product_id":"childhood-at-oriol-michael-burn-9781885586322","title":"Childhood at Oriol","description":"\u003cp\u003eOriginally published in a very limited printing in England in 1951, this enchanting rediscovery is set in a small villa among the dunes of Le Toquet. It is the story of two energetic, mischievous and sensitive children and their encounters with a privileged set of adult visitors who are in Normandy for the season and who could well have stepped out of a novel by P.G. Wodehouse. This magical novel, which takes place between two world wars, will remind readers of Dodie Smith's \u003ci\u003eI Capture the Castle\u003c\/i\u003e and Gerald Durrell's \u003ci\u003eMy Family and Other Animals\u003c\/i\u003e.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eMichael Burn\u003c\/b\u003e will be 95 when \u003ci\u003eChildhood at Oriol\u003c\/i\u003e is released.
