Format:Hardcover
This is a wonderful book; one of my desert island selection. Written with a deceptive simplicity and a love of the subjects depicted the Don Camillo books are some of the finest books I have read. I have for many years been mystified as to why more of the titles are not in print.

Format:Hardcover
The book is the first in a series that introduces, in a series of vignettes, the characters that populate a small village in the Poe Valley of Italy after WWII. The parish priest is the arch-enemy of the communist population, the mayor is his best friend and a staunch communist (so also his constant foil), and for advice, Don Camillo talks to and is answered by Christ on the Cross.
The stories are memorable, and applicable to any time or place. The simplicity and yet subtleties of the relationships are profound. One of the best books I have ever read, and re-read.

This book is about the friendly(sometimes) fueding between Don Camillo, the catholic parish priest and Peppone, the communist mayor. In every confrontation, they insult eachother,but never give the other more than a well deserved kick in the seat of the pants. This book will have you laughing the whole way through! Definately five crowns.
