<p/><br></br><p><b> About the Book </b></p></br></br>Originally published: London: Methuen, 1964.<p/><br></br><p><b> Book Synopsis </b></p></br></br>The Tuscan landscape, writes H. V. Morton, is embroidered everywhere by human living, and there is scarcely a hill, a stream, a grove of trees, without its story of God, of love or death. Morton's stories and observations of Tuscany, Lombardy, Emilia, and Veneto, whether relating to the fantastic reconstruction of the La Scala opera house or the superstitious lovers at Juliet's Tomb, make his style as engaging as the landscape and people he evokes.<p/><br></br><p><b> About the Author </b></p></br></br><b>Henry Vollam Morton</b> was born in 1892 near Manchester, England. He became an international celebrity by scooping the world's press in the sensational discovery of Tutankhamen's tomb in the early 1920s. His newfound fame subsequently led to a series of extraordinarily popular vignettes on English city and country life, which went on to sell millions of copies worldwide. He died in South Africa in 1979 at the age of eighty-six.
