Georgeā€™s Sandā€™s first novel, Indiana (1832), brought her immediate fame, but she is best known for her rustic novels La Mare au diable (1846), FranƧois le Champi (1848), and La Petite Fadette (1849), which drew their chief inspiration from her lifelong love of the countryside and sympathy for the poor.
