(More customer reviews)Working from a wealth of family stories, Brun has shaped his book around a frame story: his frandfather's tour of France. Even before grandfather began his tour, his father told him a lengthy story of someone who had taken such a tour and had met with fabulous success in his life. On the actual tour, grandfather saw a cruel joke played on a hard-working potter, met a 95-year-old man who spun a story of adventure, heard a tale of three strong men, met a hautboy player who told a tale of wolves, walked a long road with a friend and heard a tale of the brother Batiste and Louiset--one good, one bad. The last story sprang from a wedding grandfather attended and the complete history leading up to the wedding. Grandfather ended his reminiscences with a smaile and a twinkle and the line "and the cock crew, and my journey ended."
