Background reading
Sea and Sardinia - D.H. Lawrence
A marvelous account of a trip to Sardinia, evoking both the charms and travails of the then-remote island, and the personality of the author. It's a pleasingly exaggerated, accessible portrait of life on the island, circa 1921.
Olives, The Life and Lore of a Noble Fruit - Mort Rosenblum
The product of a man clearly obsessed, this winning book is a richly detailed and entertaining portrait of the land of the olive tree and the people devoted to its cultivation.
