A book of delightful rambling sketches of Italian life. There is hardly another American so capable of interpreting Italian life and character.—Chicago Tribune.
The stories are full of humor and color, picturesque bits of real life, touched by a skilful hand.—Philadelphia Telegraph.
Not since the publication of Howell’s “Venetian Days” have we had books by an American so full of Italian sunshine and so soft with Italian atmosphere as are the writings of Mrs. Elliott.—Chicago Interior.

[2] The other day a Moroccan embassy to the German Emperor asked for his help against the too drastic rule of Morocco’s new masters, the French, on the strength of that old kinship. Blood is thicker than water. The blue eyes of William of Hohenzollern may have looked with something akin to sympathy into the blue eyes of the Berber hillmen when he went hunting among them on his famous shooting trip to Morocco, the beginning of so much diplomatic palaver!
