Le Grand Meaulnes (or The Lost Estate) by Alain-Fournier, was a hugely popular book in France (1912), famous for its description of a lost bohemian domain inhabited by eccentric children in fancy dress and a quiet girl famous for her beauty.
"Weeks and months went by. Time past ! Lost happiness ! She had been the fairy, the princess and the mysterious love of all our adolescence."
