Ex-pat British artist Paul Wright and his wife Nicola have lived beside Lake Como since the early 1990s and are now well established as part of the community. But being a foreign national means he can observe his friends, neighbours and work colleagues with an eye that captures their very essence, and with his keen Liverpool sense of humour passes on his adventures with them. And not just immediately around his home village of Argegno: he travels further afield, to the Italian Riviera to decorate a medieval palace for a very impatient architect, to New York and Virginia to paint more murals and to the Po valley to take part in a food festival offering nothing to eat but dishes made from frogs!Those of you who have enjoyed Paul's first book will know of his love of Italian food and his wonderful descriptions of the local specialities. He does not disappoint in this book, with even more specialties to make your mouth water. He will make you smile, too with his tales of some of the guests he has had in the holiday accommodation he provides in his lakeside villa
