| 520 | _a"Burgundy: The Splendid Duchy. Stories and Sketches in South Burgundy" by Percy Allen is a collection of travel narratives and historical sketches written in the early 20th century. The work explores the rich history, culture, and landscapes of South Burgundy, revealing the deeper significance of places often overshadowed by their sense of familiarity, particularly for English readers. The narrative highlights the transitions of power in the region from Roman civilization to the ducal rule, weaving in local legends and anecdotes about its inhabitants and their traditions. The opening of this volume introduces the village of St.-Léger-sous-Beuvray during a lively hiring fair known as Louée, where locals gather to make seasonal employment arrangements amid cheerful festivities. The atmosphere is vibrant, filled with sounds of celebration, colorful stalls, and engaging characters, from peasants seeking work to children delighting in the event. As the narrator observes the day's events, he hints at the historical and mythical significance of the nearby Mont Beuvray, alluding to its ancient origins and the legendary tales that envelop it, setting the stage for a deeper exploration of the complexities and charm of Burgundy as the journey unfolds.
