Description
The poet Robert Graves lived on Majorca for many years and translated and edited this fascinating story in the 1950s. George Sand was the cigar-smoking, trouser-wearing lady companion to the pianist Frederic Chopin, and left a witty and sometimes acerbic account of their stay on the island at Valldemosa over the winter of 1838/9.
