Sicily, for Jones, was a set of friendships that happened to have an island attached. He went back year after year for the puppet theatre, the carters, the saints' days and the households that adopted him, and writes an affectionate and very funny record of a place he refused to treat as scenery, among people he refused to treat as local colour.
