About the work

The LibriVox catalogue summary, preserved with the recording, reads:

LibriVox recording of Monday Tales by Alphonse Daudet. (Translated by Marian McIntyre.) Read in English by MaryAnnS; Linda Johnson; Jim Locke; Phil Schempf; tovarisch; Garth Burton This is a collection of short stories by Alphonse Daudet. The stories paint an incredibly vivid picture of life in continental Europe before the turn of the last century. The settings of the stories also take us all over France, Belgium, and Germany, with little excursions also outside of those countries. The spirit of Europe of the 19th century is palpable, and described in a way few writers can. - Summary by Carolin
