8vo - 21.5 x 13.5 cm.; xii - (4) - 271 pp. Brick-red linen cloth over boards with gilt lettering on the spine. Translated from the original French and edited by Lyle Terhune TOCD. Lyle Terhune has also contributed a 31 page biographical introduction and it needs be noted that Fr. Pichon was the spiritual director of St. Thérèse of Liseieux, a very close friend of the Martin family and the director for Thérèse's sisters. The library markings, none of which are external, are a stamp on the title page and unused attachments on the back free end paper. The book shows minor shelf wear to the spine tips and is otherwise clean with a sound binding. The dust jacket is quite worn on the head edge and the spine is a tad faded.
