i've started reading "the toilers of the sea" because i liked les mis enough that i figured i should try something else by victor hugo, so when i saw this at a used bookstore the other day i grabbed it. it is about SQUID
also apparently it was so popular when it came out that there was a SQUID FAD in france with people wearing like. squid shaped hats. and it introduced the french word for "squid" to the common language where it had previously only been known in a dialect.
