Product Description

Product Description

This is a charming collection of short stories set beside photographs of doorbell panels in Florence, Italy. The stories are whimsical, quirky, sometimes laugh-out-loud funny, and sometimes beautifully poignant. The author, a British journalist who lives in various cities around Europe, took the photos on a visit to Florence and wrote fictional musings on who lives at each of these residences, what happens behind these walls, or why a particular buzzer appears as it does.


From the Author

Strange and wonderful has been the path to being published.

5.0 out of 5 stars Peaceful Enjoyment, 2 Sep 2009
This lovely little book accompained me on a journey back from Italy and the only thing I wished was that it had lasted longer.... The stories are so gentle but wonderous, the emergence of common threads through them gave a subtle connection. The seperate stories felt almost like poetry that could stand alone. Some of my favourite were those that were pictures with very little writing. Amusing and beautiful this book deserves lots of attention.

5.0 out of 5 stars Beautiful book. Beautiful stories., 2 Jul 2009
By T. L. M. Wright "The Tall One" (London) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
I was really taken with the design - beautiful hand-lettered titles for the story, imaginative layout and then the photos themselves, full of intriguing details. But the really impressive part was the stories themselves - reading them reminded me of being read to as a child, they have a sense of wonder in them, even though there's no overt fantasy. Their quite beauty and gentle humour put a smile on my face for days - it was like someone had come up and given me a two Euro coin.
