About the author

Peter Mayle was a British author famous for his series of books detailing life in Provence, France.

In 1989, A Year in Provence was published and became an international bestseller. His books have been translated into more than twenty languages, and he was a contributing writer to magazines and newspapers. Indeed, his seventh book, A Year in Provence, chronicles a year in the life of a British expatriate who settled in the village of Ménerbes. His book A Good Year was the basis for the eponymous 2006 film directed by Ridley Scott and starring actor Russell Crowe. Peter Mayle died in Provence, France.

Reviews

[Fernando · Rating 5 out of 5]

A great book about our dreams and what they symbolize. Very informative even though it is a children's book. I did understand my dreams a bit more!

A helpful, although dated, book on dreams and nightmares that may be good for someone (adult or child) understand dreams a little better. A decent starter on the topic.
