compiled by Elizabeth Troop from The Intimate Notebook of George Sand translated by MARIE JENNEY HOWE
From 1836 to 1838 - years filled with elation, depression and overwork - George Sand , in her mid-30s, kept a notebook addressed to a Dr Piffoel, who was in fact one of her masculine alter egos. With JENNY TWIGGE and JOHN BULL
