Maria Chapdelaine is the kind of story on which the usual publisher's "blurb" would be strangely out of place. The original publishers wisely issued it in a picture wrapper without a single word of description, and let the public discover its beauties for itself. Canadian in setting, this haunting story, written by a French wanderer, has gone far beyond the boundaries of America, and has become one of the treasures of the world's, narrative literature.
