North Italian Folk.
By Mrs.Comyns Carr. Illustrated byRandolph Caldecott.
By Mrs.Comyns Carr. Illustrated byRandolph Caldecott.
"A delightful book, of a kind which is far too rare. If anyone wants to really know the North Italian folk, we can honestly advise him to omit the journey, and read Mrs. Carr's pages instead.... Description with Mrs. Carr is a real gift. It is rarely that a book is so happily illustrated."—Contemporary Review.
