The stories contained in Alphonse Daudet's Letters from My Windmill (Lettres de mon moulin) are more various then is often realized, with an emotional range that is considerable. The note of tragedy is at least approached in "The Beaucaire Stagecoach" and "The Two Inns," for example. Nonetheless, the predominant note is a narrative charm, for which the volume is most famous, and this quality is perhaps nowhere more fully displayed than in the tale "The Pope's Mule" ("La mule de Pape").
