From the Desk of David Ho
I recently found a 1951 Italian movie on YouTube titled, "The Little World of Don Camillo" with an English translation!
The English version of the book "Mondo Piccolo: Don Camillo" was translated by my Dad, Candace's grandfather, into Chinese in 1963. I was 11 when it was published. It was, therefore, the first book I read about a foreign culture and country. So, it seems fitting that before I visit Italy for the first time, I honor my Dad with viewing of this movie as original Chinese book could not be found. The Don Camillo stories were published through a series of books, My Dad later also translated, "The Return of Don Camillo" but I remember the story even less.
