The two main protagonists are deadly political enemies, the Communist mayor and the parish priest. Both characters are strong and admirable, but magnificently flawed. They are built like tanks, squabble and abuse each other, sometimes physically, but - here's the key - they love each other to bits, though neither would dream of admitting it. The reader isn't expected to take sides - moral victory can go either way.The stories are short, perfect for bedtime, told in economical prose that is so skilfully written that you don't notice how good it is. There is love hate fear and death, but above all wonderful quiet humour. After each one, even when you have read them all a dozen times, you will either wipe a tear from your eye or chuckle yourself to sleep.There are stories in this book never before translated to English - which is why I bought it. The translation is new, and (to an afficionado) a bit like the NIV Bible after the King James version. I prefer the old version, but there, I've been reading these stories for 50 years.(Added later) On more reading I have to say that this translation is pretty clunky. Get the original version if you can. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 5.0 out of 5 stars Fantastic to see this translated again *by S***W on Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 23 March 2014* A long time ago a large body of Giovannino Guareschi's Don Camillo stories were translated and published by Gollancz in the UK in conjunction with a TV series produced by the BBC and Italian national TV. I watched the series and bought the book and loved both. I still have the book but it is somewhat aged and dogeared now. I was therefore delighted to see the stories available for my kindle. This is not the entire collection of stories or even the subset published by Gollancz but it is a substantive body of the authors work and an excellent start on translating these stories. The publishers propose to translate and publish more of the stories in the future.The stories revolve around the life of a small Italian village in the period following the second world war and centre on the interactions of two key personalities. Don Camillo is the villages somewhat unorthodox and turbulent priest. Pippone, his opposite is a former resistance fighter and the communist mayor of the village. Although the world view of these two characters is diametrically opposed the stories frequently unite these two unlikely allies as they both in their own ways strive for the good of the village and its inhabitants.The stories are full of life, laughter and a smattering of Italian sunshine. They are a tonic after our foul winter and as relevant today as when they were penned about 50 years ago. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ 4.0 out of 5 stars Charming *by R***E on Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 2 September 2024* I would say it was hysterical (as it says on the cover), but there are a few laugh out loud moments. --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.vu/products/62533729-the-little-world-of-don-camillo-no-1-in-don](https://www.desertcart.vu/products/62533729-the-little-world-of-don-camillo-no-1-in-don) --- *Product available on Desertcart Vanuatu* *Store origin: VU* *Last updated: 2026-05-07*
