Spinto da una passione di una vita per la Francia – la sua lingua, cultura e storia – questo autore ha scoperto la regione del Lauragais vent'anni fa ed l'ha da allora esplorata approfonditamente con vari mezzi. Rendendosi conto della scarsità di opere in lingua inglese sul passato dell'area, si è prefisso di illuminarne la ricca storia. Basandosi su una profonda conoscenza personale e sull'inestimabile aiuto di amici locali di antiche radici, la narrazione dà vita a una terra che un tempo era un polo d'attrazione per i potenti e gli ambiziosi.
