The Castle of Pictordu – George Sand (First Ukrainian Edition)

A literary fairy tale that George Sand wrote for her granddaughter Aurore, published in Ukrainian for the first time with illustrations by Anastasiia Zviaha. The painter Flochardet takes his frail eight-year-old daughter Diane away from a convent school, and after an accident on the road they have to spend the night in the abandoned, crumbling castle of Pictordu.

There a mysterious veiled lady shows Diane the castle’s former splendour, and that encounter changes her life: she grows up to surpass her father as an artist. A beautiful, thoughtful tale about art, imagination and seeing beauty where others see ruins, for readers 13+ and lovers of classics.
