Chantecler: Play in Four Acts
Edmond Rostand and Gertrude Hall Brownell
A barnyard rooster believes his crowing raises the sun, and Edmond Rostand builds a whole verse drama around him. This play stages a glittering animal world of pheasant-hens, blackbirds, and nightingales, where love and vanity play out in feathers. Poetic theater from the author of Cyrano. For readers who like their fables grand, witty, and unmistakably French.
Every copy includes a printable PDF edition, a beautifully typeset book you can print, mark up in the margins, and keep on your shelf. Yours the moment you own it.
