The fortunes of two men - Charles Darnay, an exiled French aristocrat and Sydney Carton, a disreputable but brilliant English laywer - become entwined through their love for Lucie Manette. Drawn together to the streets of Paris, their fate is played out under the vengeful shadow of La Guillotine.
Jean-Jacques Rousseau - philosopher, novelist, composer, educationist, political provocateur - was on the run.
In Rousseau's Dog, David Edmonds and John Eidinow bring their narrative verve to the bitter quarrel that turned these two Enlightenment giants into mortal foes.
An evocative tale that is uniquely West Indian in feel, this work should delight adults and children alike. Illustrated throughout in full colour the pictures and story match perfectly.
