Description
Written in a light-hearted and humorous tone, Letters from My Windmill is a collection of short stories told by Alphonse Daudet to a Parisian reader. Set against the backdrop of southern France, these tales offer a glimpse into the author's new life in Provence and his travels to Corsica and French Algeria.
The stories are characterised by their everyday nature, with Daudet drawing on Provençal folk-tales and featuring professions and fauna typical of the region. This charming collection is a great introduction to the author's writing style and the beauty of southern France.
