Edith Templeton, Bohemian aristocrat, accomplished novelist and widow of the physician to the King of Nepal wrote this highly individual account of her visit to six North Italian towns in the early fifties. Wonderfully evocative of the time and the places, her vintage narrative is a gem of travel literature but has been unavailable for many years. Anita Brookner's introduction to this new edition gives a beautiful analysis of the astringent wit and classic poise of Templeton's writing.
