A Domestic Story (1851) and Little Fadette (1967),[1] is an 1849 novel written by French novelist George Sand, born Amantine Dupin.

Sand wrote the rural story together with La Mare au Diable and François le Champi in the 1840s as she returned from Paris to the countryside of Châteauroux.

Due to the family's dire financial straits, one twin has to leave to work in a neighbouring farm, and Landry is chosen.

Fadette lives with her younger brother and a grandmother who makes the two children work constantly.

He is ashamed to be associated with Fadette due to her reputation as a witch and is disappointed, as Madelon, the most beautiful and coquettish girl in town, wants to dance with him instead.

Moved but embarrassed by the gesture, Fadette tells Landry to dance with whomever he wants and leaves the party.

They talk at length in the dark village, and Landry realises that she is a very sweet, sensible, and intelligent person, and begins to fall in love with the little Fadette.

Landry refuses but Fadette decides to leave town to put an end to the scandal and talk.

Some time after, Landry decides to leave since, due to Sylvinet's increasing anger and depression toward him, the twins' relationship has begun to fracture.

After her grandmother's death, she inherits a surprisingly large amount of money and is able to look after herself and her brother properly.
