Highly entertaining and very personal story of a childhood in France, and of the life of a large family, gay, carefree, extravagant. The time- the turn of the century; the story told in the light sparkling style which gives it definite charm. Two girls and five boys, little devils always in mischief, but always coming through with confession and forgiveness from an improvident Papa and a Mother who would like to have sloughed off her responsibilities. Fun to go behind the scenes.
