About the book

"The Red Scarf of Liberty" is a twenty-page picture book aimed at younger readers. It shares the inspirational life story of Louise Michel, the heroine of the Paris Commune, a time when the people democratically governed Paris until it was suppressed by French troops in late May 1871.

The story traces her journey from a child in rural France, through the revolutionary period of the Paris Commune to her exile and subsequent repatriation.

A story aimed at the 8-12 age group, but can be enjoyed by all the family.
