Tartarin dreams of great adventures and heroic exploits, although much of his reputation is based on stories rather than genuine achievement. Determined to prove himself, he eventually travels to North Africa in search of lions and adventure. Daudet uses Tartarin's misadventures to satirise vanity, romantic fantasy and the tendency to exaggerate one's own importance, creating a warm and highly entertaining comic portrait.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Folio Vault","offers":[{"title":"Very Good","offer_id":55216392077651,"sku":null,"price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false},{"title":"Good","offer_id":55421107798355,"sku":null,"price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"url":"https:\/\/thefoliovault.com\/products\/tartarin-of-tarascon-folio-society-278","provider":"Folio Vault","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
