In May this year I blogged about the story of Robert Lynen, an exceptionally brave young man who fought in the French Resistance during World War II. I came across his story because of a postcard of him in his pre-war role as a film actor in a film with the Dutch title of Peenhaar, or Red Head. I was delighted then to come across this book in a shop this morning, Carrots by Jules Renard, the first and only English translation of the original novel on which Lynen's film was based.
