The opening of "Letters from My Windmill" introduces the author's arrival at a dilapidated windmill in Provence, where he finds unexpected company in rabbits and an owl. As he settles into this rustic retreat, he reflects on his contentment away from the bustling life of Paris, filled with the memories and sensations of the countryside. The narrative unfolds with a sense of nostalgia as he describes the pastoral scenes around him, including the return of sheep from their mountain pastures, evoking both the tranquility and vibrancy of rural Provence. This sets the stage for the collection's exploration of human stories intertwined with nature, offering a glimpse into the characters and adventures that will follow.
