Note 28 — GODEFROI, LE PETIT ERMITE.[28]
Reading edition
One of the stories in the collection of Canon Christopher Schmid, the German writer, who was born in 1768 and died in 1854. These stories were translated into French by the tutor of the Comte de Paris in 1842, and have been the delight of French as well as of German children. In the original version this story is very long indeed, as the worthy Canon used his stories as vehicles for his religious teachings. This is a complete outline of the story.
