There is nothing quite like an autumn day in the park, reading a wonderful book while appreciating the changing colors of the leaves all around. Even better if the book is set in a forest with lush descriptions of the french countryside in the 1800s, as Andre Theuriet's novel A Woodland Queen is!.
The Tale is one as old as time, it's main plot being a dramatic love triangle set against a beautiful backdrop of nature...
The queen of the woods is Reine, a young woman who lives a rustic, pastoral life in the french forests. She has caught the attention of a local hunter and an estranged heir to the manor with dubious inheritances. The slow pace of the book makes for a relaxing read and the descriptions of vintage French country life are sure to delight any modern day mori girl. This book is very old, so a translation can be found at libraries across the world, or most likely bought online through a print on demand service.
