(Shellfish) Jacques Normand. Les Écrevisses: Fantasie en Vers dite par M.C. Coquelin

[6], 12 pp. Illus. with drawings by S. Arcos. Original wrappers. Third Edition. Paris: Tresse, 1879.

In French. This Fantasy in verse takes us into the throes of an uncommon "devouring" passion, in this city of perdition that is Paris! Tremble, good people, as you listen to the heartbreaking story of this honest provincial bourgeois, perverted by his irresistible attraction to crayfish, this crustacean of misfortune, and to pretty women! Will he manage to find the right path? We are dubious.

Near fine. Rare.
