Translated by Edward Ford Never before available in English, this collection of short stories won popular acclaim when it was first published in France in 1932. It tells of small-town life in Provence, drawing on a whole village of characters, often warm and decent, at times immoral and coarse. In these 20 stories, Giono tells his marvelous tales with compassion, pity, vivid images and lyrical prose. Giono gives us the world we live in, a world of dream, passion and reality' - Henry Miller'
