The test of this edition is reprinted without alteration from that of the
"Collection Guillaume" (E. Flammarion, Paris, publisher).
"Tartarin de Tarascon" should be read by high-school students at the end
of their second or in their third year and by college students at the end
of the first or in the second year.
It is with great pleasure that I express my indebtedness for many
suggestions to my friend Professor W.F. Giese of the University of
Wisconsin.
