Mayle, Peter
Encore Provence: New Adventures in the South of France
New York Alfred A. Knopf 1999 Reprint Trade Paperback Fine
226 pp., illus.; 22 cm. Tight, clean copy. "After trying--what folly!--to live in other places, Peter Mayle is back in his beloved Provence. He celebrates his homecoming by sharing with us a whole new feast of adventures, discoveries, hilarities, and culinary treats, liberally seasoned with a joyous mix of Gallic characters. The pauses for refreshment include an unforgettable meal in a converted gas station, a rendezvous with the very best bouillabaisse, and visits to eventful weekly markets. But there is life after lunch, and we also discover a school for noses in Haute Provence, a gardener who grows black tomatoes, the secret of the oversexed butcher, a celebration of Alowine (Halloween) Provence-style, and the genetic effects of two thousand years of fois gras. There is a memorable tour of Marseille, a comprehensive lesson on olive oil, a search for the perfect cork-screw, and invaluable recommendations for splendid local cheeses, wines, honey, bread, country restaurants, and off-the-beaten-track places to stay. Never has Peter Mayle written with more unabashed pleasure about his heaven on earth. / Peter Mayle spent fifteen years in the advertising business, first as a copywriter and then as a reluctant executive, before escaping Madison Avenue in 1975 to write educational books for children. In 1990, Mr. Mayle published A Year in Provence, which became an international bestseller. He is also the author of Toujours Provence, Hotel Pastis, A Dog's Life, Anything Considered and Chasing Cezanne. In addition to writing books which have been translated into more than twenty languages, Mayle has contributed to the Sunday Times, Financial Times, Independent, GQ and Esquire. He and his wife and two dogs live in the South of France." - Publisher.

Mayle, Peter
Toujours Provence
New York Vintage Books; Vintage Departures Ser. 1992 0679736042 / 9780679736042 10th printing Trade Paperback Very Good Clancy, Judith (Drawings by)
241 pp., illus.; 21 cm. Tight, clean copy. Browning. "Taking up where his beloved A Year in Provence leaves off, Peter Mayle offers us another funny, beautifully (and deliciously) evocative book about life in Provence. With tales only one who lives there could know - of finding gold coins while digging in the garden, of indulging in sumptuous feasts at truck stops - and with characters introduced with great affection and wit - the gendarme fallen from grace, the summer visitors ever trying the patience of even the most genial Provençaux, the straightforward dog 'Boy' - Toujours Provence is a heart-warming portrait of a place where, if you can't quite 'get away from it all,' you can surely have a very good time trying. / Peter Mayle is the author of eleven books on Provence. Recently he was awarded the Légion d’Honneur by the French government. He lives with his wife in Provence." - Publisher.
