OUR VILLA IN ITALY
BY JOSEPH LUCAS
New and Revised Edition. With 25 full-page
Illustrations. Cloth, 5s. net.
"Full of the lure of Florence and, indeed, of all Italy.... Mr. Lucas has written a book which will delight every English lover of that country."--The Guardian.
"Mr. Lucas has much to tell us of the Italian people, and the descriptions of his neighbours and servants bring them very vividly before us."--The Outlook.
"The author has a good knowledge of Italian furniture, which is rare even among Italians.... His account of his search for rare 'cassoni' and Tuscan sideboards, chests of drawers ('cassettoni') and chairs is delightful; and the photographs of his finds, which include a noble 'cassapanca' and two very fine tables, are among the most interesting features of his book."--The Athenæum.
