'Wonderful ... I fell immediately into her world' Frances Mayes,
author of Under the Tuscan Sun Kinta Beevor was five years old when
she fell in love with her parents' castle facing the Carrara
mountains. She and her brother ran barefoot, exploring an enchanted
world. They searched for wild mushrooms in the hills with Fiore the
stonemason, and learned how to tickle trout. The freedom and beauty
of life at the castle attracted poets, writers and painters,
including D.H. Lawrence and Rex Whistler. The other side to Kinta's
childhood was very different, for it was spent with her formidable
great aunt, Janet Ross, in a grand villa outside Florence. But soon
the old way of life and Kinta's idyllic world were threatened by
war. Nostalgic, yet unsentimental and funny, A TUSCAN CHILDHOOD is
a book which transports the reader to bohemian, aristocratic Italy
and the sound of bells from a distant campanile.
