“It is written in a clear, earnest, straightforward, and convincing style, never abstruse and never platitudinous, but always fresh and always interesting. In spite of the author’s professed fondness for inviting misunderstanding, the book is throughout lucid and single in its aim.”

“It is the tale of a small Sicilian lad, dowered with artistic gifts and aflame with desire to make the most of his talents who, at the instance of his wise and indulgent mother and through the kindness of an uncle who recognizes his possibilities, accompanies the latter to Florence, there to study art. The greater part of the story is concerned with his life in the cultured family with whom he makes his home in the beautiful Tuscan town, and through whom he is given opportunity to see Rome, Siena and other cities of note. Its earlier chapters, however, have to do with his happy days in the midst of his own people in Palermo.”—N Y Evening Post
