Following on the great success of Paris Tales, her collection of short stories in translation, Helen Constantine presents French Tales from the regions of mainland France. Fluent and idiomatic translations of stories selected for the quality of writing and for their ability to give readers a whole variety of insights into France and French culture. Well-known writers such as Daudet, Colette, and Maupassant appear alongside lesser-known names such as Pierre Michon and Beatrice Beck. Stories are accompanied by photographs and a map showing the regions.
