Blue Boy (French: Jean le Bleu) is a 1932 novel by French writer Jean Giono. It tells the story of a family in Provence, with an ironer mother and a shoemaker father. The book is largely autobiographical and based on Giono's childhood, although it has many fictional anecdotes. An English translation by Katherine A. Clarke was published in 1946.[1]

Adaptations

The novel was the basis for Marcel Pagnol's 1938 film The Baker's Wife. The film stars Raimu, Ginette Leclerc and Charles Blavette.[2] Pagnol's film was in turn adapted into the American musical The Baker's Wife, which premiered in 1976.[3] It was also the basis for the 2010 television film La Femme du boulanger, directed by Dominique Thiel.[4]
