This is a delightful reading of the favorite Italian Christmas story about an eccentric old woman and her never-ending search for the Baby King.
Books About Italy
The Internet's largest collection of books about all things Italian!
Welcome To My Bookstore
I’m Kristin Jarratt, and since 1972 I have been living in and/or writing about Italy. The result is my bookstore, which is not meant to be a showcase for my opinions, but just the Internet’s largest collection of books about Italy. I’ll be adding new books all the time, so come back often, and have fun browsing! (more About Me…)
