A Bag of Marbles A Bag of Marbles (French: "Un sac de billes" ) is a Second World War autobiographical novel by the French Jewish author Joseph Joffo. It tells the story of his flight, as a small boy, with his brother Maurice to escape from Nazi occupied France to the Zone Libre.

The book was a phenomenal best-seller, being made into a major film two years later.
