      About This Book

      Ambrogio Smythe, a hypochodriacal British nobleman, is obsessed by childhood memories of Gypsies. Ambrogio leaves his ancestral estate and makes his way to Florence, always aware of the lurking menace of the hated Napoleon Bonaparte. In Tuscany, Ambrogio meets a wondering storyteller, hears a magical yarn about a Gypsy babe kidnapped by a demon, buys a shred of parchment as evidence, and begins to write his own version of the saga, vowing one day to publish it in the finest Morocco leather. Noble Smith has created a historical comedy within a historical comedy that is as absurd and enjoyable as Monty Python's The Holy Grail and Goldman's The Princess Bride. The characters leap off the page in full costume.
