A book by H. V. Morton is more than a travel book: it is a sensitive interpretation of a country`s people and their history. The success of his first book on England, established the popularity of something new and refreshing in this type of literature. Mr Morton`s travels have gained him thousands of readers in all parts of the world. The author has frequently been requested to define the secret of writing a travel book. He always replies: `There is no secret. You either enjoy yourself or you do not. If you do, say so; if you do not - say so ` This disarming sincerity is, perhaps, responsible for the charm and fascination of his books. The feel and smell of the countryside, also a sense of movement, find their way into these light-hearted wanderings, and, combined with humour, acute observation, sympathy and an engaging curiosity, have justly gained for them a wide and increasing popularity.
