To preface Suzon en vacances, Léon Courbouleix joins humor to libertinism: "We ask the reader who will open this book for a little indulgence. This diary was written by a young girl of sixteen, a long time ago. We are publishing it in extenso, thus preserving all its early flavour. If it is lacking in style and literary form, it is nonetheless a human document that perfectly answers the often asked and never resolved question: "What do young girls dream of? "It is signed: "Les Éditeurs". Pia 1384 and 884, Dutel 2473.
