Le Marchand could not have been unaware of the fact that the scandal involved allegations of lesbianism, and the two works presented here contain odd features, which might not be unconnected with that context. While a little eccentric in their construction, both works stand out for their imaginative imagery.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Francoise Le Marchand\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1612278108\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781612278100\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Hollywood Comics\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 11\/01\/2018\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 188\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.46lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.00h x 5.00w x 0.43d","brand":"Francoise Le Marchand","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":44125025927423,"sku":"9781612278100","price":18.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_d38f1598-8f53-45af-b905-fa0ad8f312c3.jpg?v=1687440201","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/florine-and-boca-francoise-le-marchand-9781612278100","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
