Sicily's Historic Coasts is a book about Sicily, its history, and my visit there.
Here is some of what others have said about Sicily's Historic Coasts:
| For over 3,000 years Sicily was a crossroad of ancient civilizations. Mike's compelling prose and photos bring the sights, sounds and even smells of the island to life. From Ancient temples to modern marketplaces his travel is described in great detail. Each chapter begins with a coin of the area he is currently visiting. My favorite chapter is the one of Syracuse where Mike comes upon a museum of coins containing hundreds of silver and gold coins. The cases he viewed contain some of the highest grade and most beautiful examples of Greek, Sicilian, Roman and Byzantine coins known. Unfortunately photographing the coins was not permitted and all we have is Mike’s descriptions. I highly recommend this book and I could go on describing the contents but I have a sudden urge to go out for some gelato. - Jim Davis, Elgin, Illinois. |
| I thought the book was fantasic. The way it was written made me feel if I was there doing the walking myself. I truly love it. I have read other travel books and skipped pages and/or never finished them. This book made me want to keep reading. It was a disapointment that it had to end. - Marie Klapperich, Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. |
