Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from Tales of the Untamed: Dramas of the Animal World
DE Goupil a Margot, Histoires de Betes, published in 1910 by the Mercure dc Frames, secured for its author, Monsieur Louis Pergaud, the Prix de Goncourt of 5 0 0 0 francs, instituted by Edmond Goncourt, and awarded annually by the Académie Goncourt for the greatest piece of imagina tive writing of the year.
I reported to Mr. Eveleigh Nash that it would be impossible to translate Monsieur Pergaud's stories into English; but that it might be possible to adapt them in such a manner as to preserve the spirit of them in an English setting.
Tales of the Untamed is the result of my endeavour in this direction.
