Notes
An account of local life and customs on the Adriatic coast in the neighbourhood of the Sibylline range of the Apennines, somewhere in the southern part of the province of Le Marche. The 1880's equivalent of the modern Under the Tuscan Sun genre of books, this is a fascinating study of a long vanished peasant existence by Margaret Collier (1846-1928), following her marriage and new life in Italy.
