Summary "Kirjeitä myllyltäni" by Alphonse Daudet is a collection of short stories written in the late 19th century. The book comprises vivid narratives that reflect the author's experiences and observations in the picturesque landscapes of Provence, intertwining elements of reality and poetic imagination. The stories often capture life in rural France, focusing on the hardships and joys of everyday characters, revealing Daudet’s deep appreciation for his homeland. The opening of the book sets the stage with a heartfelt description of Daudet’s new residence, an abandoned mill in the serene Provence countryside. He reminisces about the surrounding beauty and the arrival of various animals, indicating a lively yet forgotten world. As he settles into his new abode, he encounters creatures like rabbits and an owl, creating a whimsical atmosphere that explores themes of nature and solitude.
