A collection of 35 new gems that are all describing Colette's childhood with his parents, his brothers and his sister, in the countryside with their garden and their pets. The people imperceptibly from childhood to adolescence, adulthood (with the death of the parents) and parenthood (in scenes where Colette tries to revive his daughter her own childhood memories .. . without much success that matter). Everything is borrowed poetry, thirst for independence and a degree of insolence and humor. Colette wonderfully mania the French language and able to express with great finesse in a few words his poetic and free worldview. All mixed with happiness all the feelings of life (since the freedom and carefree childhood until metaphysical questions of maturity through old age and death of parents). A real gem well representative of the genius of Colette.
