About This Item
New York: Robert M. McBride, 1929. First American Edition. Hardcover. Very Good/no jacket. shelf wear to tips, corners, and edges of the book; no jacket; covers rubbed, lettering faded, previous owner's name to the front endpaper. First printing. Morton, an eminent travel writier of the 20th century, calls on the motorist to explore the north of England. "The intelligent traveler will find it stimulating to talk to the men of Manchester, Liverpool, Birmingham and Sheffield and he will also discover, with perpetual pleasure and, I think, astonishment, that the north of England offers wider solitudes, more rugged beauty, more old castles and abbeys than the south. He will discover in the Peak District of Derbyshire a marvelous wilderness as desolate as Dartmoor; in Yorkshire he will find little market towns in whose corners lurk the last vestige of the eighteenth century; in Lancashire he will find shepherds and their lambs within sound of the cotton looms; along the Northumbrian coast he will enter a district whose romantic wildness cannot be equaled in any other part of England. It remains for me to add that most of the following sketches appeared first in the Daily Express as a series of articles called 'Northward Ho!'"-from the introduction. Every effort is made to ship all books and other items within 24 hours. Clean recycled packing material will be used when possible.
