A Childhood in Provence

The childhood memories of the gifted storyteller Marcel Pagnol, summarized here, are among the most endearing testimonies of memoir literature. The author takes us to one of France's most charming landscapes, Provence, and, with deep affection for his homeland and the superiority of rich humor, gives us an enchanting picture of the French South. The charm of the young Marcel's story lies in the vivid depiction of childish experiences, thoughts, and feelings, in the subtle and ironic character studies, the varied episodes, and especially in the landscape captured with Pagnol's heart.
