The second volume of Marcel Pagnol's Souvenir d'enfance, Le château de ma mère traces the continuing adventures of the family at their residence secondaire in the hills outside Marseille.

The young Marcel encounters and befriends the young Isabelle who enjoys making fun of him and using him to act out her fantasies on.

Much of the book is concerned with the family's journeys to the countryside which are shortened when an ex pupil of Joseph gives the father a key enabling them to take a short cut along the canal into the hills.   This facility turns into a guilt trip as theoretically they shouldn't be doing it.

Pagnol's inimitable ironic humour and his obvious tenderness combine in this engaging tale.
