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. Contents Include: I Go In Search of Scotland - I Explore Edinburgh - I See The Castle Of Roslin - Tells How I Go On Through Rain To Lochleven - In Which I Climb Into The Highlands - I Describe A Mystery Of Aberdeen - Describes A Sincere Scottish Breakfast - In Which I Work East To West - I Go By Sea to Skye - How I Break The Sabbath - I Sail Up The Clyde Into Glasgow - In Which I Encounter Men Who Melt Steel. Illustrated with black and white photographs.
