Cocktail Hour Meets ... L’AP?RO
Cocktail Hour Meets ... L'APERO is the third in a series of back-of-the-napkin lifestyle books resulting from quarantining at home during Covid-19. Little did anyone know when authors Jeremy Cooper and Andy Klausner published Cocktail Hour Meets ... A PANDEMIC in July of 2020 and Cocktail Hour Meets ... A PRESIDENTIAL ELECTION in November 2020, that the pandemic would continue well into the Spring of 2021. We may not always know what day it is, but we do know there is always cocktail hour! And along with cocktail hour, this book highlights the French tradition of L'APERO - an early evening get together which features wine (or cocktails), appetizers and, when not isolated at home, time spent with friends. The inspiration for this book comes from Jeremy and Andy reminiscing during the quarantine about past travels that seem so distant, and takes them back to their true loves - food, travel and wine. Cocktail Hour Meets ... L'APERO guides readers through each of the wine regions of France, and includes stories of Jeremy and Andy's past travels, 25 L'APEROs, each highlighting a French wine (and one brandy), and a recipe which pairs well with each beverage. A portion of all sales will be donated to World Central Kitchen - a national nonprofit founded by Chef Jos矇 Andr矇s and his wife Patricia that uses "the power of food to nourish communities and strengthen economies through times of crises and beyond.".
Rouen (Esprios Classics)
Fran癟ois-Th矇odore Licquet, born on 19 June 1787 in Caudebec-en-Caux and died on 1 November 1832 in Rouen, was a French curator and local historian. Licquet did his first studies, as a scholarship holder, at the Coll癡ge Louis-le-Grand, in Paris, and finished them at the Prytan矇e de Saint-Cyr. He soon abandoned the career of commerce in Rouen into which his family had pushed him at the end of his studies. For some time he fulfilled the functions of assistant secretary of the town hall of Rouen, which were for him a transition to occupations more in keeping with his tastes and more in harmony with the work and thoughts of his youth.

Here Today, Gone Tomorrow
Here Today, Gone Tomorrow is a travelogue with a difference. Two retired women set off in a campervan from London to tour Europe. Neither has driven a campervan before, much less had any experience driving on the right.They journey through four countries and cover 4,000 miles, often bewildered by one-way systems and rapid changes of language, yet meeting kindness wherever they go. The women's varied and often bizarre escapades make for entertaining reading from start to finish. They experience being locked in an underground toilet in France, finding distant relatives in Germany quite by chance, and spending a frightening night freedom camping on the Riviera.For those who love to read about the touring experiences of others, and are pining to get out on the open road themselves, it's all here in this true and eccentric account. About the Author: Elaine Blick lived in England for many years and taught school in London. "Although I grew up in New Zealand and had my education here, I now live beside a beach outside of Auckland, which is rather different from London." Now retired, she enjoys travelling and researching the historical novels she writes. This is her eleventh book.

A Little Tour in France (1884)
This early work by Henry James was originally published in 1884 and we are now republishing it with a brand new introductory biography. Henry James was born in New York City in 1843. One of thirteen children, James had an unorthodox early education, switching between schools, private tutors and private reading.. James published his first story, 'A Tragedy of Error', in the Continental Monthly in 1864, when he was twenty years old. In 1876, he emigrated to London, where he remained for the vast majority of the rest of his life, becoming a British citizen in 1915. From this point on, he was a hugely prolific author, eventually producing twenty novels and more than a hundred short stories and novellas, as well as literary criticism, plays and travelogues. Amongst James's most famous works are The Europeans (1878), Daisy Miller (1878), Washington Square (1880), The Bostonians (1886), and one of the most famous ghost stories of all time, The Turn of the Screw (1898). We are republishing these classic works in affordable, high quality, modern editions, using the original text and artwork.
The Story of Paris (Medieval Towns Series)

Thomas Okey (1852-1935) was a master basket-weaver, translator, and writer. Other notable works by this author include: "Venice and its Story" (1904), "Paris and its Story" (1925), "The Story of Avignon" (1926). Many vintage books such as this are becoming increasingly rare and expensive. We are republishing this volume now in an affordable, modern, high-quality edition complete with a specially commissioned new biography of the author.

A Year in Paris
A NEW YORK TIMES "SUMMER READING" PICK!From the incomparable John Baxter, award-winning author of the bestselling The Most Beautiful Walk in the World, a sumptuous and definitive portrait of Paris through the seasons, highlighting the unique tastes, sights, and changing personality of the city in spring, summer, fall, and winter.When the common people of France revolted in 1789, one of the first ways they chose to correct the excesses of the monarchy and the church was to rename the months of the year. Selected by poet and playwright Philippe-Francois-Nazaire Fabre, these new names reflected what took place at that season in the natural world; Fructidor was the month of fruit, Flor矇al that of flowers, while the winter wind (vent) dominated Vent繫se. Though the names didn't stick, these seasonal rhythms of the year continue to define Parisians, as well as travelers to the city. As acclaimed author and long-time Paris resident John Baxter himself recollects, "My own arrival in France took place in Niv繫se, the month of snow, and continued in Pluvi繫se, the season of rain. To someone coming from Los Angeles, where seasons barely existed, the shock was visceral. Struggling to adjust, I found reassurance in the literature, music, even the cuisine of my adoptive country, all of which marched to the inaudible drummer of the seasons."Devoting a section of the book to each of Fabre's months, Baxter draws upon Paris's literary, cultural and artistic past to paint an affecting, unforgettable portrait of the city. Touching upon the various ghosts of Paris past, from Hemingway and Zelda Fitzgerald, to Claude Debussy to MFK Fisher to Francois Mitterrand, Baxter evokes the rhythms of the seasons in the City of Light, and the sense of wonder they can arouse for all who visit and live there.A melange of history, travel reportage, and myth, of high culture and low, A Year in Paris is vintage John Baxter: a vicarious thrill ride for anyone who loves Paris.

Demystifying the French
Demystifying the French: How to Love Them, and Make Them Love You is aimed at first-time visitors to France as well as long-term expatriates. Designed to help readers "crack the code," avoid common mistakes, and get off on the right foot with the French, the book begins with five easy-to-follow essential tips "for even brief encounters" by introducing a few French phrases--and how to say them--that will pave the way for a positive experience in France. The tips are followed by 10 chapters that go into a deeper explanation of French habits, manners, and ways of viewing the world. Hulstrand shares the perspective she has gained in nearly 40 years of time spent living, working, teaching, and traveling in France, and illustrates the principles she is discussing with sometimes touching, and often amusing, personal anecdotes. Her deep admiration and affection for the French people is clear, but she also knows that they can "require special handling" and provides helpful, practical tips on how to do so, inviting readers to learn from her mistakes. Reflections contributed by David Downie, Adrian Leeds, Harriet Welty Rochefort, and other well-known commentators on Franco-American cultural differences provide additional perspective and depth. A glossary of French terms that is both substantive and whimsical provides surprising insights into historical as well as cultural reasons for the French being "the way they are." Aimed mainly at an American audience, this book will be helpful for anyone who wants to better understand the French, and have fun while doing so.
In Foreign Fields
Who hasn't dreamt of living in France? For Susie that dream comes true... but not in the way she had imagined. Yes, the countryside is spacious and peaceful... on summer nights the stars skim the rooftops, the owls hoot and the nightingales sing. Sunflowers smile from their fields. Then there's the food and the wine: the wine is cheap and the baguettes are crusty. The French neighbours are generous and gentle. But then come the drug addicts, builders who cannot build, demanding compatriots, undercover cops and unwelcome guests. Susie begins to lose hope of attracting the fabled French philanderer and, far from appreciating their new home, the animals do everything they can to make life as difficult as possible. With her house literally crumbling around her, the number of odd characters Susie manages to attract are only matched by the assortment of creatures appearing from in and out of the woodwork. When her husband almost dies, Susie's resilience and good humour are tested to the limit. Another delightful, very funny, memoir from the witty & wise travel author Susie Kelly.
