Publisher Description
'So concerned with the trivialities of everyday life … and so shrewd.'
London Evening News
Against the background of the rise and fall of fascism (Mussolini, Hitler) and post-war communism (Stalin, Khrushchev and Mao's China), Guareschi looks down with hawk's-eye vision into the lives of the ordinary people of La Bassa.
Here in the little world of Don Camillo the passion for politics is so intense that it becomes worrying, and the author delivers his message with humour and insight – to cut through the prejudice and political correctness and to follow one’s conscience, one's inner voice, rather than any political dogma.

I've sought out all the Don Camillo stories I could find and was glad to see them pop up on iBooks.

I hope these books give you even half the joy they gave ne.
