Is it possible to cover Provence in just one book? Mountains and vineyards, truffles and melons, traditions and legends, saints and beasts... Where to begin, what to neglect? A serious author would surely focus on one thing and compose a substantial opus. This is not the case with Peter Mayle. Any information is only credible when it is gained through personal experience, according to the author. But it's not just the search for a topic that drives him to wine cellars, olive farms, and frog festivals. "I enjoy it along the way, I admit," Mayle admits. Thus, guided largely by his own curiosity and personal weaknesses, flitting like a "frivolous bird" from branch to branch, from one question to another, Mayle has created a highly engaging "collection of facts and trivia" about Provence, a corner of paradise on earth, about which the author writes with unfailing love and humor.
