Don Camillo and His Flock

Set against the post-war backdrop of a rural village in the Emilia-Romagna, this is the second in a new series of hilarious and incisive Don Camillo anthologies, which offer 215 stories translated into English for the very first time. As ever, the townsfolk, riven by their disparate allegiances to the hot-headed Catholic priest and his equally pugnacious adversary the Communist Mayor Peppone are relieved of their prejudices by the gentle humour and insights coming from high above the altar in the village church.
