ABOUT THE AUTHORS
Don and Petie Kladstrup are writers who divide their time between Paris and Normandy, France. Don is a former television news correspondent and the recipient of numerous awards for his work overseas. His wife, Petie, a former protocol officer for the U.S. ambassador to UNESCO, is a freelance writer who has written widely about France and French life. When they are not writing, the Kladstrups are busy restoring an eighteenth-century farm and replanting an orchard with rare varieties of apples that are in danger of extinction. From time to time, they also take in a wine auction or two in the countryside. They are the parents of two daughters.
