Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from The Lure and the Lore of Travel
If you do not believe in turning a European trip into a bore, resumed the Merry Widow, I am ready to listen to any and all your sug gestions, but if I had intended to make work of travel, I would have stayed at home.
On one's first impressionistic foreign tour, I replied, I am inclined to favor, as a method of travel, the way hedgehogs are said to eat their grapes, that is, rolling over in them and eating those that stick to their quills. If ineli nation be ever the best guide, surely it is on a journey in search of an answer to the essentially personal question what does Europe mean to me?
Bravo, cried the Merry Widow, clapping her little white hands enthusiastically.
