Settled in an old windmill in Provence, Daudet writes to his Parisian readers with stories from the region. We meet Monsieur Seguin's goat, who dreams of freedom in the mountains, the priest of Cucugnan, who makes his parishioners tremble with a sermon about hell, and Father Gaucher, whose elixir makes his monastery's fortune.
Part farce, part legend, part melancholy, these tales are known to generations of children, and you can feel the sun and the mistral on every page.
Short and written in a simple, musical style, they can be read one by one in the language you are learning.
