Provence from A to Z

Is it possible to tell about Provence in one book? Mountains and vineyards, truffles and melons, traditions and legends, saints and beasts... Where to start, what to disregard? A «serious» author would focus on something specific and compose a solid... opus. This does not apply to Peter Mayle. Any information is trustworthy only when obtained through personal experience, — believes the author. But not only the search for a theme drives him into wine cellars, olive farms, and frog festivals. «Along the way, I derive pleasure», — Mayle admits. Thus, guided by his own curiosity and personal weaknesses, flitting like a «light-hearted bird» from branch to branch, from one question to another, Mayle created a rather captivating «collection of facts and tidbits» about Provence, a paradise on earth, about which the author writes with unchanging love and humor.
