Publisher's Synopsis
 
Alphonse Daudet wrote nothing more richly and heroically comic than the two cycle,  here presented in one volume, of the deeds of the great Tartarin of Tarasco -in Africa, in the Alps, in his native Provence.  Imagine a more robust Don Quixote transported from the Spain of 1600 to the France of 1850,  fired by the ardent temperament of the Midi and the passion for La Chasse- that is Tartarin.  The introduction to this volume is by Professor Jean- Pierre Richard of the Institute Français.
