Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from Though Given in Vain, the Mysterious Egg and a Berkshire Story
The blue sky above, the blue Mediterranean around him and smiling Ischia at his feet would seem all that a man could wish for, but Pietro Martano looked beyond.
He could see Naples with her yellow houses across the clear water and he knew the treasures of those plain-faced palaces, for Pietro Martano was a sculptor of no mean ability, and the marbles of the Museo Nazionale had been familiar to him since childhood.
