The Little World of Don Camillo lies in the Po Valley, between the river and the Apennines, where, as the author tells us, 'political passion often reaches a disturbing intensity, and yet these people are attractive and hospitable and generous and have a highly-developed sense of humour'. Few writers have ever offered us so much fun with so little malice or cruelty as Giovanni Guareschi. In this book, he includes another batch of reports from the front down there in the Little World, where there is a running fight between the honest village priest (Don Camillo) and his deadly opponent, Peppone, the communist mayor. And still the Good Lord strives to keep the peace. There may be war in the Little World, but the greater world can only laugh. For this is a classic of humour. (From the back of the 1st Penguin edition). The Don Camillo books, published in the late 40's and 50's are still very enjoyable and offer real humour in these days of reality and political correctness where humour is more often used to wound than to amuse; the simple cartoons of the author, which highlight each chapter heading, are a delight and sure to bring a smile to even the most jaded reader!
