The Man Who Slept with the Mona Lisa: A Historical Novel Based On Memory - Paperback

Tinker, tailor, soldier, scholar, spy. Who could have imagined that the young man with modest beginnings who had grown up in a farming village in the Loire valley, was made destitute by the Great Depression, went on to serve in the Foreign Legion, was educated and taught at the Louvre, captured after Dunkirk by the Wehrmacht during the German invasion of France, escaped and found his way to Valençay where he was charged with safeguarding in his bedroom Leonardo's immortal Mona Lisa from destruction by the Nazis, then joined the Resistance and finally would become Curator-in-Charge of one of the world's most significant monuments, the fabulous Chateau de Versailles?
