A small but pure and highly polished gem; as always John Pascal's sense of people and place is flawless. When asked what Graham Greene (Travels With My Aunt) and John Steinbeck (Travels With Charley) might have to say about this book's title or its content John Pascal replied: "Well, if they could have read it I don't think they would have had any objection - in fact, I think they'd have enjoyed it." As you follow Sal and his little "family" in their peregrinations through America and Italy you may find yourself wishing you could join them.
