Author Description

A labor whose love is evident on every page, the French Country Diary is a Francophile's dream of France, and it remains the loveliest of gifts. An evocation of culture and countryside and the ineffable feeling of je ne sais quoi, this elegant diary is created by Linda Dannenberg and photographer Guy Bouchet. Cover to cover, it is filled with the subtle colors and spirit of France, of tables set with brightly painted faience, of soft blue seascapes of the Pays Basque, of rolling fields of lavender, mossy stonework, an allie of cypress trees, a pyramid of chhvres, a rustic trug filled with olives. From the gift box and quilted fabric cover to its grids framed by Provengal patterns, every detail is exquisitely French.
