A review by gengelcox
The Little Frenchman And His Water Lots by George Pope Morris

1.5

The humor here comes from the juxtapostion of the naive Frenchman who spends all his money on land unseen. Does it work? Not very well. It’s a critique of people’s greed and how they fall on get-rich-quick schemes, but my feeling is this Frenchman only got what he deserved for poor due diligence.
