"The boy's Froissart: Being Sir John Froissart's Chronicles of adventure, battle, and custom in England, France, Spain, etc" by Jean Froissart is an autobiographical book that follows the adventurous life of Jean Froissart, a Medieval writer, and historian. Though originally written in French, the book was found and translated into English and was later preserved so it would not be lost to history. In fact, the edition that is most widely available is still in circulation thanks to Sidney Lanier, the translator and editor responsible for its publication.
