拍品資料及來源
This is an early French adaptation by Isabelle de Montolieu (1751-1832), who translated the original text in 1814 and then added her own continuation with the author's permission. This later edition from 1824 includes a further expansion on the family's tales and became the standard version used for later translations and abridgements (including into English), though the tales also inspired further additions and expansions by other authors. The half-titles indicate that these volumes formed part of a set of the complete works of Isabelle de Montolieu. She was also the first translator of Jane Austen into French.
