The Little World of Don Camillo

How many times will I re-read this without tiring of it? If I were stuck in a deserted island and allowed only a single book with me this would be it. The most beautiful collection of short stories with three principal characters; Don Camillo the priest, Peppone the communist mayor and God.

Last year, I found this book at Blossoms - A 1955 omnibus which had this along with Don Camillo's dilemma and
Don Camillo and the prodigal son. I was delighted as I had been hunting for Don Camillo for a year. Out of print, Out of editions, this book is the rarest of finds.

I had first read this in my school days - a tattered, yellowed with age book of my friend's grandfather. Reading this always also brings back the best of memories of the books she and I would share across her window sill. :) Childhood.... The best years and the loveliest reads...
