Southern California was, to one enthusiast, a Mediterranean paradise made in America. Charles Dudley Warner tours this Our Italy: its climate, its productions, and its promise, comparing it to the sunny coasts of Europe. A glowing travelogue of citrus, vine, and mild winters. Discover why writers once called California the new Italy.

Every copy includes a printable PDF edition, a beautifully typeset book you can print, mark up in the margins, and keep on your shelf. Yours the moment you own it.
