La France: Son Histoire, Sa Civilisation is a classic mid-century French language and civilization textbook, co-authored by Elijah Clarence Hills and Mathurin Marius Dondo — two respected language scholars whose collaborative work shaped French curricula for generations of American students. Published by D. C. Heath & Company, a leading American publisher of foreign language textbooks, this 1949 Revised Edition combines language instruction with cultural history in the elementary course format popular in mid-century American classrooms.
The physical book is genuinely handsome: a light blue cloth hardcover debossed with a red line-art map outlining the borders of France — a distinctive design detail that gives the book real visual character beyond its educational content.
Very good vintage condition. Ships from Altadena, CA.
