Look what I just found!
first published in 1941, last edition 1957. it's a beautiful old book, the edges only slightly worn, the pages perfect yet stained a slight yellow colour, scribbled throughout with my mum's discernible yet nearly illegible handwriting. this will replace my cookbook reading! (although I have finished Around the World in 80 Days and started War and Peace...) reading and writing Italian is already pretty basically and satisfactorily apprehended by myself, but it's the speaking and pronunciation of Italian that is utterly and cryptically incomprehensible. so, we'll see if this helps at all....but, now I have an excuse to talk to myself out-loud in this empty house.
