Deer Godchild is a novel written by Marguerite Bernard and first published in 1919. The story is set in the French countryside and follows the life of a young orphan girl named Marie-Louise who is taken in by a wealthy family. The family’s son, Jean, takes a liking to Marie-Louise and becomes her godfather, calling her his ''deer godchild''. As Marie-Louise grows up, she becomes a talented artist and develops a deep love for nature and the animals around her. However, her idyllic life is disrupted when Jean’s sister, Madeline, becomes jealous of the attention Jean gives to Marie-Louise and begins to plot against her. The novel explores themes of jealousy, betrayal, and the power of love and friendship. It also delves into the relationship between humans and nature, with Marie-Louise’s love for animals serving as a metaphor for the importance of preserving and respecting the natural world. Overall, Deer Godchild is a poignant and beautifully written novel that offers a glimpse into the complexities of human relationships and the beauty of the natural world.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
