Frederique

by Don Brennus Aléra

A cult novel that until now has only been accessible to readers of French, Frederique offers a delightful look at attitudes toward cross-dressing during the 1930s. Fred de Montignac is taken to live with his aunt, the Baroness Saint-Genest, an imperious woman who insists that the young man adopt women's clothing and assume the persona of a lovely young lady, Frederique. Quaintly kinky, Frederique is a pleasure to read, and its historical significance is undeniable.
