Re: Comtesse de Segur
I read an extract from this book in English - because ... well, my French knowledge, it is really a pity (or a shame). I remember a movie made in the late 70´s/early 80`s. "Les malheurs de Sophie" - the German title was "Die Abenteuer von Sophie".
I tried to read it in French but I failed. There is a lack of vocabularies, it was really exhausting.

Re: Comtesse de Segur
Do you know the book "What Katy did" by Susan Coolidge? "Les malheurs de Sophie" seems to be the French version of it! But I learned that Comtesse de Segur wrote a story about an animal (I think it was an donkey) which could be compared to Sewell´s "Black Beauty". And she wrote about an orphaned neglected child which reminds me of the stories of Charles Dickens.
