AN ITALIAN HOLIDAY IN THE LIBRARY Available to Purchase

NO ONE WOULD ALLEGE that reading travel books can entirely take the place of real travel, but it is a very delightful substitute. The country I love most and wish to know better is Italy, a country which has always held a particular attraction for the English, who have been said to be ‘born with two ineradicable loves — one for the England that breeds them, and the other for the Italy that lures them’, and the result has been a number of fascinating travel books, which I have gradually discovered, and obtained from the library.
