About the author
Born in Nîmes on May 13, 1840, Alphonse Daudet grew up in a family whose fortunes declined after his father's silk business failed. As a teenager he worked as a school usher, an unhappy experience he later drew on in his writing, before moving to Paris to begin a literary career.
Daudet first published poetry, then became known for fiction and drama. He is especially remembered for Letters from My Windmill, a group of vivid tales linked to Provence, and for the comic adventures of Tartarin of Tarascon. His writing is often praised for its lively storytelling, memorable characters, and its mix of tenderness, satire, and observation.
Over time he became one of the best-known French writers of the 19th century. He died in Paris on December 16, 1897, but his books have remained popular for their charm, humor, and deeply human view of everyday life.
