Pictures from Italy

This Book is a series of faint reflections - mere shadows in the water - of places to which the imaginations of most people are attracted in a greater or less degree, on which mine had dwelt for years, and which have some interest for all. The greater part of the descriptions were written on the spot, and sent home, from time to time, in private letters. The words of Dickens give a description of the scope of this book , but it also allows the master storyteller to weave his magic about the places and people he meets.
