"Sido" et "Les Vrilles de la vigne" sont deux textes distincts de l’œuvre de Colette, tous deux d’inspiration autobiographique.

Cette éducation harmonieuse a profondément marqué sa manière de vivre.

Ce maillon est là, dans la correspondance adressée par Sido à Colette, de 1905 à 1912. Les lettres de Sido font écho aux dires de Sido dans la fiction et répondent aux questions que nous nous posions encore sur Colette.
