Charlie & Me in Val-Paradis

This gently-paced book is the story of Cashman's time in the village of Espagnac-Ste-Eulalie in south-west France. The 'Charlie' of the title is her poodle. This book provides a delightful, thoughtful window into the lives of these French villagers, enhanced by charming illustrations. It is a contemplative insight into rural France on the cusp of change. It will appeal to anyone interested in people and places as well as travellers, dog-lovers and Francophiles.
