A classic, if somewhat dated, account of some Italian regions that are hardly discussed in the mountain of books on Italy. Morton's style ties both a narrative description with historical anecdotes, probably familiar to those who have read his other books. The book was very helpful in planning a trip through Calabria, Basilicata, Puglia, and Campania.

This is, simply, a wonderful book that is an utter joy to read. It must be a mark of the quality of writing that, reading over 80 years later, you still feel as if the ink hasn't yet dried, so fresh and immediate is the style.

In an engagingly witty journey through (mostly rural) England in the late 1920s, Mr Morton's writing conjures up all the sights and sounds that he encounters, from haunted gothic ruins to sunny vicarage gardens.

Throughout the writing, Mr Morton's affection and awe for the land, its people and its history come through. And it's refreshing to read a book devoid of the sort of cynicism and pessimism that marks much modern writing.

In Italy, I have often cast a pitying eye on the uninspired faces of people in large tour groups. You have, no doubt, seen them yourself, as they mindlessly follow a leader who is holding some ridiculous object aloft on a stick and frequently supplying dubious anecdotal information selected to entertain rather than enlighten. Anyone in such a group with a zeal to know more about the scenic, historical, architectural, and artistic miracle that the world calls Italy would do well to obtain a copy of one of Morton’s books on Italy. But bring along a copy of a traditional guide as well, since Morton’s books will not direct you to the best hotels, restaurants, and places to shop; rather, they tend to be journals of travel experiences ...

Books : In the Steps of the Master
This is one of the best books on travel experience to the Holy Land for two reasons, 1) You feel as if you are there 2) This book gives a picture of what the Holy Land was like in 1934 when Mr. Morton wrote it. This book was so good I ordered a copy before I had finished the copy that I had discovered by accident at the local library. This is a must read book. I will be ordering more copies to loan out and give as gifts.
