<p>This is a companion volume to Vernon Bartlett's "Central Italy," which was welcomed by one reviewer as "a model book of travels." Another reviewer said that "English visitors could have no better book," that such "a splendid, readable medley of history, architecture, personalities, topography and anecdote" should not be missed. The same recommendations can certainly be given for Mr. Bartlett's present account of a no less remarkable region, bounded by the Italian Riviera, by Venice and Trieste, by the famous lakes and mountains of the north and by such historic cities as Bologna, Parma, Modena and Ferrara in the south, and encompassing Verona, Vicenza, Padua, Milan, Piacenza, Pavia, Turin, Genoa, Cremona, Mantua, Bergamo, Udine, Bolzano and many other places, large and small, that will so richly repay a visit. So, whether the reader is lingering in "Northern Italy" or passing through to "Central Italy," Vernon Bartlett provides ideal companionship in every sense, and again his narrative is enhanced by 23 pages of evocative photographs.

<p>There has been so much written about the trenches, there are so many war photographs, so many cinema films, that one might well hesitate before even mentioning the war-to try to write a book about it is, I fear, to incur the censure of the many who are tired of hearing about bombs and bullets, and who prefer to read of peace, and games, and flirtations. But, for that very reason, I venture to think that even so indifferent a war book as mine will not come entirely amiss. When the Lean Years are over, when the rifle becomes rusty, and the khaki is pushed away in some remote cupboard, there is great danger that the hardships of the men in the trenches will too soon be forgotten. If, to a minute extent, anything in these pages should help to bring home to people what war really is, and to remind them of their debt of gratitude, then these little sketches will have justified their existence. This book is part of the World War One Centenary series; creating, collating and reprinting new and old works of poetry, fiction, autobiography and analysis. The series forms a commemorative tribute to mark the passing of one of the world's bloodiest wars, offering new perspectives on this tragic yet fascinating period of human history. Each publication also includes brand new introductory essays and a timeline to help the reader place the work in its historical context.</p>
