Au Bord du Lac

According to Wikipedia: "Émile Souvestre (April 15, 1806 - July 5, 1854) was a French novelist who was a native of Morlaix . . . His best work is undoubtedly to be found in the charming Derniers Bretons (4 vols, 1835-1837) and Foyer breton (1844), where the folk-lore and natural features of his native province are worked up into story form, and in Un Philosophe sous les toils, which received in 1851 a well deserved academic prize. He also wrote a number of other works-novels, dramas, essays and miscellanies."
