Currently in its 40th printing with its original publisher in the UK, this is the book that one British newspaper has called "travel writing at its best. Bill Bryson must weep when he reads it." Whether describing ruined gothic arches at Glastonbury or hilarious encounters with the inhabitants of Norfolk, Morton recalls a way of life far from gone even at the beginning of a new century.

Column Out Of Books In Search Of England
I didn't enjoy this as much as his 'pilgrimage' books, 'In the Steps of The Master' and 'In the Steps of St Paul'. I found it a bit twee at times, patronising of the North-West, and he was rather too determined to find 'characters'. Unlike his writing about the Near East, this did not make me want to visit any of the places described. The style falls into that dangerous area between contemporary and old enough to be classic (as George Borrow). So, not really recommended.

There was no woman to convince me that the pain in my neck was not the first sign of spinal meningitis, so that growing rapidly worse, I began to attend my own funeral every day. My appetite, however, remained excellent." Morton was a homesick journalist during the Great War and wanted to come back to England (he was the first to break the story of Tutankhamun's discovery). Once home, he traveled to as many

An enchanting journey through old England, Mr. Morton's meanderings and interactions with the village folk he meets along the way are nothing but enchanting!

Yes...it was amazing. Anyone who loves England, especially England in the 1920s, will thoroughly enjoy this stroll down memory lane.

While ill and abroad, the author found that he missed England with a passion and, on his return, set out to find his version of the rural idyll. This is the story of his travels, by motor car, around England, which was first published in 1927. The 1920's were a time when coach trips were extremely popular and had made much of the countryside open to more people - even more so than the railways. The author both extols the delights of popular travel, while bemoaning the 'vulgarization' of the
