A Favourite Book

One of my favourite books is "The Story of San Michele" by Axel Munthe. This tells of Munthe's life in France as a doctor and of his gradual building of a fascinating house on the island of Capri. It covers many years and is impossible to encapsulate into a short paragraph. Munthe was a very popular doctor and generally known in France as "Le Suedois". My copy of this book is a beautiful illustrated volume which crossed the Atlantic at some time. It previously belonged to Diane Fenwick of New York. I came across it in a secondhand book shop where I acquired it for £1. This was about 15 years ago. I would reccomend it as a really good read to anyone who might see this paragraph.
