Three French Hens: Idlewild Books

There are 10 days left until Christmas, have you bought all of your gifts yet?


On the third day of giftmas, my true love gave to me... Three French Hens.

While many people would probably love to receive a handful of roast chickens under the tree, a looser interpretation of this verse of "The 12 Days of Christmas" yields less messy results.

Look no further than local foreign-language book store Idlewild Books in Cobble Hill for a trio of French tomes featuring female protagonists, such as sweet, curious Madeline.
