The Complete Claudine: Claudine at School; Claudine in Paris; Claudine Married; Claudine and Annie

The stories that inspired the film Colette, directed by Wash Westmoreland and starring Keira Knightley.

Colette, prodded by her first husband, Willy, began her writing career with Claudine at School, which catapulted the young author into instant, sensational success. Among the most autobiographical of Colette's works, these four novels are dominated by the child-woman Claudine, whose strength, humor, and zest for living make her seem almost a symbol for the life force.
