A Year in Provence. Peter Mayle and his wife did what most of us only imagine doing when they made their long -cherished dream of a life abroad a reality throwing caution to the wind, they bought a glorious 200yr old farmhouse in the Luberon and began a new life. In a year that begins with a marathon lunch and continues with a host of gastronomic delights, they also survive the unexpected and often hilarious curiosities of rural life.
Toujours Provence. Peter Mayle, now known as "The English Ecrevisse", takes up his knife, fork and glass once more to continue where A year in Provence left off. Skulking through British Customs with a suitcase full of truffles, tracking down a man whose ambition is to make toads sing the "Marseillaise", finding gold at the bottom of the garden, taking pastis lessons, and looking nervously over his shoulder at forest fires, you might think that he has little time to spare for the pleasures of the table.
Encore Provence. This completes the account of an Englishman's experiences in an area of France that has been surprising writers since Tobias Smollett discovered garlic there in the eighteenth century (he hated it). As you might expect, there are one or two pauses for refreshment in the course of the book, including a feast in a converted petrol station and a rendezvous at Chez fonfon in Marseille to meet the veritable bouillabaisse.
