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.

Morton goes in search of Wales, and finds equal delight in climbing Snowdon (inclement weather aside) and going down a coal mine. Bustling with intriguing local stories and characters, Morton's fascinating account reaches from the scenic grandeur of the north to the domestic beauty of the industrial south. In the Vale of Clwyd it rains with grim enthusiasm, while at the Eisteddfod in Bangor, he is slightly worried by the trousers of bard and druid, which are visible for a few inches below their gowns. Father Christmas has this same trouble with his trousers. Anecdotal, leisurely, full of character and event, insight, and opinion, this is travel writing of the very highest order.Taal: Engels;Oorspronkelijke titel: In Search of Wales;Afmetingen: 23x200x140 mm;Gewicht: 231,00 gram;Verschijningsdatum: juli 1999;ISBN10: 0413407403;ISBN13: 9780413407405; Engelstalig | Paperback | 1999.

education and reference,europe,great britain,history,ireland,northern ireland,travel,travel writing,world,writing, One of the classic travel books about Ireland by one of the century's best-selling writers. Shortly after the declaration of the Irish Free State, H. V. Morton goes in search of Ireland by motor-car and finds, amongst other things, a Norman village in Galway, lobster fishermen, a shy girl in need of an apron in Connemara, and a great many beds in which Michael Collins is said to have slept. Full of local stories and wayside conversations, Morton's witty and enticing travelogue recalls a way of life not quite disappeared even at the beginning of a new century. Anecdotal, leisurely, full of character and event, insight, and opinion, this is travel writing of the very highest order.

Von Händler/Antiquariat, Better World Books: North.
Originally published in 1930, this book is a collection of witty and heart warming tales from the authors travels around Ireland. It is very clearly written with a huge fondness and is accompanied by picturesque photographs. 'I would like to hope that this book of mine may help, in no matter how small a way, to encourage English people to spend their holidays in Ireland and make friends with its irresistible inhabitants.' Written shortly after the treaty of 1922 which gave the Irish Free State, this book is one that calls for an end to an 'unhappy and regrettable chapter in history'. Contents Include: I Go in Search of Ireland I See the Book of Kells The Road Runs Over the Hills to Glendalough and its Churches I Linger in Horsy Country Towns I Visit the Trappists of Mount Melleray Describes the pagan Magic of Kerry I Come Through a Wild Gorge to the Lakes of Killarney Describes the 'Treaty Stone' and the Shannon Scheme at Limerick Tells How the World Ends on the Stone Walls of Connemara I Go Into the Joyce Country Describes a Sunset at Mallaranny I Cross into Northern Island, Paperback, Label: Dodd Mead, Dodd Mead, Produktgruppe: Book, Publiziert: 1984-04, Studio: Dodd Mead, Verkaufsrang: 6045666.
