Description

Set in a time when Italian towns feuded over the outcome of the last feud, this novel centers on a social outcast, the court dwarf Piccoline. From his special vantage point Piccoline comments on the court's prurience and on politcal intrigue as the town is gripped by a siege.

First Sentence

I AM twenty-six inches tall, shapely and well proportioned, my head perhaps a trifle too large.
