An enchanting meditation on life's small pleasures, this short book captured the imagination of the French public in 1997 and became an instant number one bestseller. Each chapter features a small pleasure which is both uniquely Gallic and universal: from the smell of apples maturing in a cellar to the gentle whir of bicycle dynamo at dusk to turning the pages of a newspaper over breakfast, to the joy of a snowstorm inside a paperweight. Recounted with a lively, innocent curiosity about the little things that make life worthwhile, this is an unforgettable, absorbing read to be savoured at length by everyone.
