DON CAMILLO #8
Merry Christmas Don Camillo
In Merry Christmas Don Camillo the author's Christmas stories appear alongside his war-time experiences in the prison camps of Germany and Poland, out of which he formed the polemic that would underwrite his work.
Included are many tales new to English-speaking readers and some of the best that Guareschi ever wrote. For Christmas is the time when conflict between the communist mayor and the village priest ceases and they are brought together in the very ground of their souls.
‘The fact is, we all think of Christmas as a day off the calendar. Like a day out of time. Christmas is a point of arrival for us all.’
The book contains more than 40 illustrations in colour and black and white.
