Full color illustrations throughout [From page opposite title page] Under the title of My Dear Havana, well-known Cuban journalist Fernando Davalos has managed to put together, in the form of 41 excellent chronicles, a string of memorable Havana events - some of them true city landmarks - in which historic significance combines with popular wisdom to cast a look at both the past and the present. The book contains 170 pictures by Arnaldo Santos, and its beautiful and creative design is the work of young artist Rafael Garcia. We are sure that Cuban and foreign readers will find in My Dear Havana both answers to questions and the satisfaction of coming in touch with the roots and history -- consequences included -- of the famous, beautiful, and beloved Saint Christopher of Havana, capital of the Republic of Cuba.
