Book excerpt: Twenty short stories. Frederick Rolfe, who early in his career also published under the name Baron Corvo, became famous for his Hadrian the Seventh (1904), in which an Englishman is unexpectedly elected Pope, and later became infamous for his writings on his love for Venetian boys. But it was with the Toto stories, first published in John Lane's fin de sià ̈cle literary journal The Yellow Book, that Corvo achieved his first and most widespread authorial success. In these tales, an Italian peasant youth ingenuously recounts to his English master poignant and often funny stories dealing with Heaven, saints, morality, and religion.
