Deze journalist, schrijver en humorist was medeoprichter van het satirische tijdschrift "Candido". Zijn beroemdste werken putten uit de contrasterende relatie tussen de priester Don Camillo en de communistische burgemeester Peppone. Door deze personages ving hij meesterlijk de spanningen en humor van het naoorlogse Italië. Zijn schrijven is rijk aan inzichten in de menselijke natuur en maatschappelijke tegenstellingen.
More timeless, bittersweet stories of life in Italy's Lower Plain, most of which appear in English for the first time. They begin, as the last collection ended, with Don Camillo in exile in the mountains, But it isn't long before this lightning conductor for problems in the Little World draws Peppone and all human nature to his door.
Beset by the third young progressive leftwing priest with a mandate to steer him into the modern world, Don Camillo digs in and finds a surprise ally in Peppone as he fights to save the three-metre high figure of il Cristo through which he conducts his famous conversations with God.
No. 7 in the Don Camillo Series, this bumper volume of classic Tales from the Lower Plain includes many never before translated into English. Beloved of 23 million readers worldwide, the appeal is universal, to readers aged from 10 to 100.

In Merry Christmas Don Camillo the author's Christmas stories appear alongside his war-time experiences in the prison camps of Germany and Poland, out of which he formed the polemic that would underwrite his work.
