Lettres de mon moulin

by Alphonse Daudet

"Lettres de mon moulin" by Alphonse Daudet is a collection of short stories first published in 1869. Set in Provence, these tales capture the landscapes, characters, and folklore of southern France through vivid storytelling. The collection grew from stories originally published in Parisian newspapers during the 1860s, though questions arose about collaboration with writer Paul Arène. From legendary mules and stubborn goats to village priests and lighthouse keepers, these stories blend humor, nostalgia, and regional charm into enduring portraits of Provençal life.
