Leonard Woolf by Victoria Glendinning

Disney's 34th masterpiece, The Hunchback Of Notre Dame is the enchanting story about a disfigured bell-ringer named Quasimodo who longs to roam beyond the confines of the majestic Notre Dame cathedral. When Quasimodo secretly disobeys his master and dwells out into the crowds of the gothic city during a festival, he becomes aware of his love for the beautiful gypsy Esmerelda and the freedom she represents and willingly helps her evade the authorities.
