A hilltown of Tuscany is the setting for this charming story of a childhood of an artist -- a story that must come close to the author-artist's own boyhood in Italy. The book breathes the very scent and feel of Italy, as the round of the seasons and the events of the village take place. Angelo is well known on the Pacific Coast, where this book should have a large sale; and lovers of fine book-making the world over know him as well. This he has illustrated with his own drawings.
