Maurin the Illustrious

Jean François Victor Aicard (1848-1921) was a French poet, dramatist and novelist. Maurin the Illustrious is the sequel to the Diverting Adventures of Maurin, continuing what the New York Times called the "rare adventures in the old style" of Maurin, a "poacher, jester, paladin, Don Juan, good citizen, outlaw, teller of droll tales, doer of bold deeds, active politician, dreamer of dreams, and careful parent rolled into one."
