Index

"A literary travelogue assembled from the hearts and minds of some of the greatest wordsmiths in the English language. A Grand Tour in 10 volumes, these delightful volumes gather little-seen essays from famous erudite explorers in compact collections that will inspire those who've never been abroad to make the journey, and move those who have to pack their bags again.

Volume I & II explores Great Britain and Ireland, viewed through the eyes and prose of a panoply of extraordinary writers: Nathaniel Hawthorne enthuses on the Houses of Parliament, Harriet Beecher Stowe describes a visit to Windsor Castle, Washington Irving makes a trip to Stratford-on-Avon, and much more by such notable voices as Augustus J.C. Hare, Sir Walter Scott, and others.

Beautifully illustrated with charming photographs, it is a work to treasure... and to take along on your next trip.” [excerpts from the introduction to vol.i]

"Volume III explores France and the Netherlands, viewed through the eyes and prose of a panoply of extraordinary writers: Victor Hugo waxes rhapsodic on the cathedral at Notre-Dame, Henry Wadsworth Longfellow visits the P re La Chaise, Charles Dickens journeys to the papal palace at Avignon, and much more by such notable voices as Augustus J.C. Hare, William Makepeace Thackeray, and others. Beautifully illustrated with charming photographs, it is a work to treasure..." [from the introduction to the vol. iii]
