Prospectus, including publication announcement letter regarding "a tantalizing mystery" surrounding the book involving MFK Fisher's professed involvement in the writing of the book, to which Lawrence Clark Powell responded: "If Idwal Jones is a professional Welshman, MFK Fisher is a Celtic fabulist . . ." "Idwal Jones was a master storyteller in the finest Welsh tradition. He was also a chef. When he wrote about food, it became the stuff of magic." This is his story of young Jean-Marie who buys a ripe medlar from a street vendor at the Toulon wharf in Provence, and is launched by the succulent fruit on an odyssey through some of the most fabled kitchens in France. ; Roberston, James & Carolyn.
