Contes du Lundi & Lettres de Mon Moulin – Alphonse Daudet, Two-Volume Set, Bibliothèque-Charpentier (1902/1903)

A handsome matched two-volume set of works by Alphonse Daudet, published by Bibliothèque-Charpentier (Eugène Fasquelle, Paris). Both volumes are bound in red half-leather with richly marbled boards and raised gilt-decorated spines — a collector-quality binding typical of late 19th-century French belles-lettres editions.

• Contes du Lundi — Nouvelle édition revue et considérablement augmentée, 1902. A celebrated collection of short stories set against the backdrop of the Franco-Prussian War.
• Lettres de Mon Moulin — Édition définitive, 1903. Daudet’s beloved evocations of Provençal life and character, widely considered a classic of French literature.

Both volumes published at 3 fr. 50 in the Bibliothèque-Charpentier series. Printed in Paris by L. Maretheux, imprimeur, 1 rue Cassette. Condition: Good — pages toned as expected for age, bindings solid and presentable. A matched set for the collector or the reader.
