Book Description:

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 northern Italian towns in the early 50s. Enchantingly evocative of the time and places, her vintage narrative is a gem of travel literature. In her new introduction, Anita Brookner offers an insightful, gracefully written analysis of the astringent wit and classic poise of Templeton's writing.
