I have no idea! I didn't even know it existed until I saw it in the local bar last week (yes, it was in the bar, and my brother in law was reading it! I'll have to ask him)

I'm so glad you found my blog so that I could find yours. Love it!! The books titles cracked me up! Can't wait to catch up on your adventures in France, a place I've always dreamed of visiting. My cousin studied abroad this past Spring, spent 6-weeks in Paris and said it was one of the most gorgeous places he's ever seen. Fingers crossed that I can get there someday soon!

I find it interesting that my grandkids (2 through 4 years old) who I regret to say don't know French yet love the books equally when I read it to them in French or English.

It's Bec's comment that sticks in my mind. I can understand (and can completely visualise) her… “cackling with laughter like a mad woman right now” but still wonder why her question has gone unanswered?So, once again (with amplification)… 1). Why, prey tell, is your brother-in-law reading this particular book? 2). In a bar??? 3). A mere week after his wedding??????Please, please, please explain.Before I die of terminal curiosity!All the bestKeith

1) If you knew my brother-in-law you'd understand. It's the only answer I can give. He's like a 26 year old school boy. I just wish I had taken a photo of his smile when he was reading it. He was thoroughly enjoying it!2) The book was actually in the bar. The new bar owner has setup a kind of library. For some reason, it is one of the books stacked on the shelves (Le Petit Village is a strange place)3) You're confusing Brother-in-Law with Honey B. Brother-in-Law isn't married… yetNow go and pour yourself a pastis.

Could you ask Brother in Law to get married so as to clear up any confusion (and it'd make a great blog post so you could kill two birds with one stone, as it were?)
