An Early Start For an Amazing Career,
If you can find this book (at an affordable price), it's well worth the read. This is not the polished storyteller Lloyd Alexander would later become. This is a young writer putting elements of his life with his young French bride to paper. As such, it has a few clumsy moments. I won't pretend this is one of his finer works.
But it's honest and personal and inspired by Alexander's real wife, Janine. "Janine is French" is a comedy title (again, something not seen often in his later career) that follows the exploits of a soldier returning home from post World War II France with his young bride who, shortly after arriving, learns she desperately hates the States. The overall plot includes various attempts to build up money for this dream - all doomed by comedic happenstance. There's a lot of love in each chapter, though. Definitely give it a try.
