But their love is threatened by the dangers of war, as well as by the prejudices and expectations of their respective societies.The Firefly of France is a gripping and emotional tale of love, courage, and sacrifice set against the backdrop of one of the most tumultuous periods in human history. It offers a vivid and detailed portrayal of life during World War I, as well as a powerful exploration of the human spirit in times of crisis.''The German secret-service agent. The best in the world, they say.'' A sort of reluctant admiration showed in Van Blarcom’s face. ''There isn’t any one that can get him; he does what he wants, goes where he likes--the United States, England, France, Russia--and always gets away safe. You’d think he was a conjurer to read what he does sometimes. A whole country will be looking for him--by Marion Polk Angellotti.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
