Présentation de l'éditeur
The original story of falling for France, "Perfume from Provence" was first published in 1935 and became a best-seller. Winifred Fortescue was an actress who rubbed shoulders with the likes of Jerome K. Jerome and George Bernard Shaw when she married Sir John Fortescue, the king's librarian and archivist and famous historian of the British Army. Tempted by a better climate and the cheaper cost of living, they left England and found a stone house amid olive groves, high in the hills above Nice. Almost at once they were bewitched by the landscape and especially their garden - delightful terraces of vines, wild flowers, roses and lavender - and by the charming, warm-hearted and wily Provencals. Winifred's witty account of life with stonemasons, craftsmen and gardeners as they extend the house is an enchanting read.
Biographie de l'auteur
Born in 1888, Winifred Fortescue gave up her career on the stage after marriage and founded a successful fashion and interior design business. She later began writing articles for The Times and Punch, and inaugurated a woman's page for The Morning Post. She wrote seven books, of which Perfume from Provence was the first.

Paperback. Etat : Good. Winifred Fortescue was born in Suffolk in 1888. At the age of 17 she decided to help the family's ailing resources by taking a career on the stage, and starred in a number of productions. In 1914 she married John Fortescue, the King's Librarian and Archivist, and in spite of a huge age difference theirs was an exceptionally happy marriage. The couple lost nearly all their money in the stockmarket crash of 1929. Selling what little they had left, they bought a tumbledown cottage high on a mountain outside Grasse in Provence, where they settled for life among the Provencals - with all the trials and tribulations of sulky workmen, flamboyant villagers and learning to drive Provence-style - and with all the pleasures that their new-found neighbours and way of life brought them. Lady Fortescue's account of their life in Provence, where she died in 1951, was first published in 1935. This reissue retains the drawings of E.H. Shepard, the "Winnie the Pooh" illustrator. The book has been read but remains in clean condition. All pages are intact and the cover is intact. Some minor wear to the spine. N° de réf. du vendeur GOR004528173
