It is here, on the cliffs of Normandy, that Clopinet grow wings of courage. His life on the cliffs is the start of a journey that takes him across the ocean to countries far and wide, where he satisfies as he never dreamed possible his love for nature and travel.Written in 1873 as entertainment for her grandchildren, Sand's inspiring story is one for all ages.
