This masterful collection of folk tales from the south of France have been handed down through generations of the author's family. They were originally published by Macmillan a century ago, and Hippocrene Books is pleased to bring the collection back into print for today's readers. Thirty-three beautiful black and white illustrations bring magic, life and spirit to these charming Provincial tales, including: My Grandfather's Tour of France; A Blind Man's Story; The Marriage of Monsieur Arcanvel. The stories are lively and fast paced, taking the reader on adventures through ancient castles and villages. Children and adults alike will be delighted with the adventures in this volume.
