THIS LITTLE STORY came to me whole during a walk in the Val de Dagne, a magical place hidden in far southwest France. The Romans named the valley for the goddess Diana (the huntress) because wildlife was so plentiful. And they built a temple for her on a low hill near the valley’s center. The temple no longer stands, but the site was special to the valley’s residents long before the Romans came, and it remains so to this day.I don’t know what inspired me during my walk that day. As a nonfiction writer I’m not often surprised by fictional storiesappearing whole in my head. But this one did. So I offer it with humility and the hope that it may bring a bit of fun toreaders.

One or two of the boys kissed her awkwardly, as if for the first time, whether it was or not.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
