... and I am delighted that I have had today contact with Mrs. 'Simona d'Achille' who was so kind to confirm to me that indeed her late father the acclaimed Italian Artist Gino d'Achille had illustrated three of the Catherine Pan books we see above. It is:


ONE LOVE IS ENOUGH - CATHERINE - CATHERINE A TIME FOR LOVE

Simona d'Achille has confinded in me that  her father had at times asked her mother  and his children to pose for a painting. In this particular case it was for 'Catherine and a time for love'.  For this reason the fifth of the Catherine Pan books cover is her favourite and close to her heart. I admit that I am now looking at that particular cover with a tender smile. Simona d'Achille manages now his Archive and Studio Editions.  Link to https://www.ginodachille.com/ website

some International Press articles concerning the Catherine Series   



Film Adaption in 1968 Catherine, Il suffit d'un amour

Director 'Bernard Borderie', the same man who had already directed the Angélique films (after the books by Anne Golon). Juliette was extremely disappointed by the end product, because they had turned her story into a Political unrest, inspired by the '1968 Paris riots'! The original story was no longer recognisable! I can only agree with her. I have decided to create an extra page with photos and it is under construction The movie had after all some international Stars which deserve to be mentioned - like Olga Georges-Picot, Claude Brasseur, Horst Frank and Francine Bergé.

Synopsis : Catherine : A Time for Love...

Catherine's destiny is to love Arnaud, the proud Lord of Montsalvy, in mediveal France. Once she believed him lost to her through the ravages of leprosy; now she suspects that the bonds which unite them have been torn even more surely by the lascivious caresses of an infidel Princess.
