Each entry then has from a short paragraph to a few pages of description. The author is Peter Mayle who has almost made a careet of writing about Provence. He's a Brit who moved there many years ago. He was going there to write a novel, but instead wrote a book on Provence which to ...             A Dog's Life48 reviews Peter Mayle Vintage, 1996 Excellent Shape! The book arrived quickly and was in absolutely excellent shape, as promised. I was giving it as a gift, so had needed a book that was like new. I was told this book was just like new and indeed it was. They also sent the book out extremely quickly. I was more than impressed and would do business with them again.             A Good Year47 reviews Peter Mayle Sphere, 2004 A good time with this book Have you ever been to Provence? Non? Do you know the French? Non? If you haven't and you don't, then this short time with Max Skinner might not be as much fun as it was for me. Not only have I been to Provence, but I stayed in Montpelier for a month and made many outshoot trips to nearby locales, including Arles and Avignon and small villages like Saint-Pons, the setting for "A Good Year." I ...             French Lessons: Adventures with Knife, Fork, and Corkscrew46 reviews Peter Mayle Knopf, 2001 A Cozy Read about France "It was a pleasure just to be alive." ~ Peter Mayle, on his experience in France Peter Mayle's "French Lessons" is an engaging book about French cuisine.

Knopf, 1990 Part Travelogue; Part Love Letter I'm probably the last person in the world to read this charming book. My interest was stirred by the Russell Crowe film A GOOD YEAR which has been running on the premium channels for the last two months. The movie is heartwarming, witty, and full of sweet charm. Naturally I had to seek out the author of the book from which the movie was adapted. In doing so, I bought all of the other books ...             "What's Happening to Me?" A guide to puberty32 reviews Peter Mayle Lyle Stuart, 2000 Great book! This was recommended by my nephew and nieces as the most informative book about puberty (when I asked them). It is really good. It is to the point, but keeps it lighthearted. It addresses a lot of good questions and worries kids have but won't ask. I HIGHLY recommend it.             Toujours Provence28 reviews Peter Mayle Pan Books Ltd, 1992 Affectionate Portrait of Provence Slowly, I'm working my way through Peter Mayle's books though these books could more rightly be described as his love letters to Provence. Toujours Provence begins where his first book A Year In Provence ended. Now a seasoned resident of this region of France, he broadens his view to give us an affectionate portrait of the French in all their regional peculiarities. At once amusing and ...             "Where Did I Come From?" - The facts of life without any nonsense and with illustrations.116 reviews Peter Mayle LYLE STUART INC, 1973 Classic for small children This book is a classic for explaining the birds and the bees to small kids. It's illustrated in a cartoony, friendly style and explains sex in a way that's comprehensible from a child's point of view. I don't think it crosses the line of what an average parent would consider "too much information". The couple depicted are slightly chubby and middle-aged, quite the stereotype of a mummy and ...             UP THE AGENCY7 reviews PETER MAYLE MACMILLAN EDUCATION AUSTRALIA, 1990 A jaded, judgmental and jolly-good read Mr. Mayle's disillusionment after working over a decade in advertising and then deconstructing the profession in this tightly written, little book makes for a hilarious read. When combining artistically bent personalities with other employees whom are more anal-retentive pencil pushers to run the advertising agency and this is what you will invariably get. This book could be applied to describe ...             Baby Taming3 reviews Peter Mayle Pan Books, 2003 What New Parents Need - Humor and Realistic Advice As a college student/parent many years ago I found this book in the university bookstore and enjoyed it for it's humor and realistic take on parenting methods. We used many of the concepts in the book with great success on our children. Now as grandparents to be we are passing it on to my son and his wife to give them a better perspective and hopefully, give them a better family life.             Acquired Tastes14 reviews Peter Mayle Bantam, 1993 Hedonism at high level I used to think as a big disadvantage to live in a small and poor country as Chile. However, Mr. Mayle's book demonstrated me that living in a "third world country" has some advantages. First of all, if you can afford some of the pleasures described on this book, meaning you're lucky enough to be within the 5 or 3 per cent of chilean population, maybe you're not a tycoon, but al least you're ...             Sweet Dreams and Monsters - (A Beginner's Guide to Dreams and Nightmares and Things that Go Bump Under the ... Peter Mayle & Arthur Robins Harmony Books, 1986             Chasing Cezanne: A novel44 reviews Peter Mayle Random House Audio, 1997 Humorous, intriguing and delicious I've been "hooked" on Peter Mayle since I read Hotel Pastis, and Chasing Cezanne is another rare treat. I can't resist the combination of French scenery, French food, a little intrigue, and lighthearted fun that Mayle combines in his works of fiction. And of course, for those who prefer nonfiction, all of his Provence books (A year in...; Toujours ...; Encore...etc.) are also delightful.             Hotel Pastis: A Novel of Provence29 reviews Peter Mayle Vintage, 1994 GOOD IDEA THIS IS ALSO A GOOD READ FOR PETER MAYLE FANS, AFTER READING IT, I WANT TO OPEN MY OWN HOTEL IN THE SOUTH OF FRANCE.             Anything Considered30 reviews Peter Mayle Hamish Hamilton, 1996 Should be sold as a script. I thoroughly enjoyed this novel, which was my first introduction to Peter Mayle. It has caused me to go and purchase all of his other books...non-fiction as well. I think this would make a great movie, provided that the producers stuck to the manuscript.             Confessions of a French Baker: Breadmaking Secrets, Tips, and Recipes10 reviews Peter Mayle, Gerard Auzet Knopf, 2005 Packed within its pages are decades of baking wisdom competitors can't match for tone, content and insights.
