Town and Country Best Books January 2022

Guidebooks about Italy are a dime a dozen, but editions made specifically for young adult readers are harder to come by.

Working with the illustrator Ondine Lecomte, their slim, whimsical volume is not a check-list of tourist traps or selfie hot spots, but a personal road map to their Italy.
