Summary

William J. Locke's 1912 collection about Aristide Pujol, a cheerful, resourceful, perpetually penniless Gascon who talks his way through the south of France and beyond. Each chapter is a small comedy of his schemes and his big heart. Light and charming. This book uses the racial and other slurs of its period as written; the Book Guide explains these words where they occur.

Written by Claude Sonnet 5.5, an AI assistant, from the text of the book.
