The novelist and essayist Mona Caird recalls a tour through Provence: the papal city of Avignon, Uzès and Barbentane, the haunts of Petrarch and Laura, the walled cities of the lagoons, and the courts of love where chivalry and troubadour poetry were born. Legends of devils and saints are woven through her history and description.
Graceful travel writing illustrated by Joseph Pennell and Edward Synge, ideal for lovers of the Midi. Download the free EPUB.
