French Country Diary Calendar
I have purchased the French Country Diary for the past six years. It never leaves my side. The daily space is large enough to keep appointments and diary entries. The hard cover helps keep this book looking good all through the year. At the end of the year it goes in my bookcase for my business and personal records for years to come. The bonus....everytime someone sees this ...

A magnificent book
Gillian Tindall shows a great deal of erudition in painting with great exactitude the evolution of a French village over almost two centuries, showing how the life of the village and its people were affected by the arrival of the railroads, the changes of political regimes, the influences of the wars. She has been able to capture the spirit of the french peasants of the Berry with a deep ...

Anne Willan

Chronicle Books, 2007

Marvelous addition to French cooking references
Many years ago, I remember reading through cookbooks. Anne Willan's La Varenne, named for her cooking school, offered tremendous insight into technique applied to based French dishes, and I learned much from it. So I was delighted this Christmas Eve day to receive a review copy of her new book, The Country Cooking of France. There are many books on French country cooking, and, yes, you'll find ...

french country calendar 2008
Exactly what I was looking for...an engagement calendar that keeps us on schedule from week to week, and has the added advantage of lovely photos from France that remind us of our trip last year. Only thing I would like to see added is a monthly calendar view at the beginning of each month.

Evelyn Sloman

Perigee Trade, 1993

Ideal book for beginner cooks, great tasting recipes
Basically, this book taught me how to cook. As a married male, my wife explained to me that I need to do "my part". So we hired a maid and I bought a cook book. Since my own mother never let me use the kitchen, I was an extreme beginner. This book is wonderful; it provides easy step by step instructions and expectations. I have used nearly 3/4 of the recipes and all of them are ...

Antique Collectors' Club, 1996

Entertaining and Enlightening Read
Professor DeLorme writes like she lectures; with incredible amounts of fascinating information and anecdotes that reveal a wealth of information on pavillions, and how they played a role in the French Court. Her lively tone makes for a very enjoyable read on a fascinating subject, and the book is as visually beautiful as one could expect. If you can't see her lecture in person, this book is the ...

Enjoy the play of mesmerizing colours!
A beautifully illustrated book with mesmerizing colours: an abundance of deep indigo, jungle greens, various shades of burnt orange, and of course the requisite fuschia. I very much enjoyed the play of colours in this book. With the cut paper collages and paintings, the fabrics flow eith textures, layers and decorous patterns. The story focuses on Sardul, a clever cat who schemes to have his ...

A French Song Companion

Graham Johnson, Richard Stokes

Oxford University Press, USA, 2000

Worthy companion to Bernac
Pierre Bernac's _Interpretation of French Song_ has long been the indispensable reference volume for singers and coaches of this rich musical literature. The focus of the present volume is somewhat different, more comprehensive in its listings of composers (any composer of significance who set French texts is included, resulting in some surprising listings, Bernstein and Dinu Lipatti, for ...

What a delightful surprise to learn that Mark Girouard has written about France. I have enjoyed his books about English houses and towns for years -- returned to them again and again. His new book on the French country house has delighted me with the same mix of historical knowledge with social insight and architectural connoisseurship. All his books are full of the most interesting insights and ...

God's Country

S. Dietz

Samuel French Inc Plays, 1991

A complex show that puts a very human face on hate
Steven Dietz's complex script takes the story the hate group, THE ORDER's, rise and fall (because of their assassination of radio personality Alan Berg) and weaves different aspects of how hate groups affect people on a personal (and sometimes touchingly horrifying basis). A strong ensemble piece that can be performed with little or no set on a regional and/or community theatre level.
