As Herbert Gorman wrote in the New York Times: \"The extant documentation concerning Villon in \u003ci\u003eRogue's Legacy\u003c\/i\u003e is brought to such a sharp and living fictional focus that the result for the reader is very much like draining a huge beaker of ruddy Beaune that the poet loved so well. . . . She has created a character who lives and who might very well be the Fran輟is Villon who killed Sermoise, loved Katherine de Vauselles, robbed the Coll馮e de Navarre, capped rimes with the Duc d'Orl饌ns, and died miserably in a ditch on a lonely road far from his beloved Paris. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ci\u003eAbout the author: \u003c\/i\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eBabette Deutsch (1895-1982) was born in New York City, where she lived for most of her life.
