AbstractHistoryArchive Description
'A little orphan girl, an ocker opera singer, a wild Gypsy, a lonely Giraffe, a sad old man and an eccentric aviator. What do they all have in common and why are they travelling together to the Great Paris Exposition of 1889?
'The answer is at the top of the Eiffel Tower, if they can get there before Mister Menage and the gendarmes catch them. The Sadness of Mister Saisson is almost a true story...except that none of it happened this way.'
