I've just bought a 1952 edition of the book "the little world of Don Camillo" by Giovanni. I read this book years ago and am pleased to have a copy and enjoy the funny stories of Don Camillo and his adversary Peppone the mayor and communist party leader in the village.
As well as writing Guareschi was a caricaturist and cartoonist..hope you like it Ps read the book its great....
John, Thank you for reminding me of The Little World of Don Camillo. Did you know that the stories were made into a film (1952)? Before both our times, I suspect.
