The Companion Guide to Sicily (Companion Guides)
The level of detail offered by Trevelyan is impressive... (his) knowledge, experience, research and passion shine. The detail is frequently enlivened by anecdotes, or historical episodes. REFERENCE REVIEWSInformative, entertaining, even leisurely, combining the best of essential knowledge with an agreeable personal touch... A model guide, with ... all the excitement of discovery and the deeper pleasures of long familiarity. THE TIMES LITERARY SUPPLEMENTThis is the guidebook that the fascinating island of Sicily richly deserves... I urge you to go and see for yourself the extraordinary beauty of the island with a copy of this book to hand. COUNTRY LIFE I value the traditional virtues of the Companion Guides... actually written by an individual rather than packaged by production teams... straightforward intelligent guides to cultural sites. BOOKSELLER (Douglas Schatz)    (Trevelyan is) an ideal guide to the island, knowledgeable, courteous and eloquent... A generation ago Hugh Honour and Georgina Masson wrote classic companion guides to Venice and Rome respectively. Trevelyan's delightful volume is of the same high calibre. TABLET The title is right: Raleigh Trevelyan is indeed a most companionable guide...do pack it. SUNDAY TELEGRAPH
