La Provence, c'est pour Daudet une certaine réalité morale, dont il dégage l'originalité. Cette réalité c'est, par-delà la pauvreté et la rudesse de ces existences, un goût méditerranéen de la vie. C'est aussi, par contraste avec la futilité des sentiments parisiens, un relief dû à la puissance des passions qui animent le peuple : passion de Maître Cornille acharné à nier le temps présent et à maintenir malgré tout son moulin en activité ; passion naïve et têtue de Blanquette, la petite chèvre, pour la liberté et le grand mystère de la montagne.

Ariane Ascaride et Roland Giraud relèvent un défi bien plus compliqué qu'il n'y paraît dans cette interprétation : ils font apparaître l'au-delà du conte, ils révèlent la profondeur de cette prose. La finesse avec laquelle ils s'emparent de la dimension orale des "Lettres de mon moulin" n'en fait que mieux ressortir le travail stylistique et rythmique de Daudet, qui sort pleinement accompli de cet enregistrement." Claude Colombini & Benjamin Goldenstein

Dieci fiabe famose per ragazzi. C'era una volta una scrittrice che nel tempo libero raccontava le fiabe ai suoi figli, e agli amici dei suoi figli, poi ai figli delle sue amiche, e finalmente alle nipoti e ai nipoti, quando la scrittrice è diventata zia. Non erano storie inventate da lei, ma fiabe classiche, molto antiche, alcune imparate da bambina grazie a una zia fiorentina, molte altre scoperte nei libri. In questo volume ne sono raccolte alcune, scritte esattamente come le raccontava, un po' cambiando e aggiungendo del suo, e cercando di renderle più moderne nel linguaggio.
