Book Description

Excerpt from Spain Revisited: A Summer Holiday in Galicia When one has lived in Spain one is apt to find London a little ridiculous, with its ceaseless occupation with the really unimportant things of life. How Often, when I have seen crowds of women and men rushing for some morning or evening train, or fighting to gain entrance to an already crowded tramcar or omnibus, and an impulse of imitation has urged me to be one of that absurd, hustling crowd, has the thought of Spain held me at rest with its recollections of a more gracious and beautiful life! Yes, Spain Opens a new door of life for those who have eyes to see and hearts to understand. It convinces the tired modern that, after all, there are very few things that really matter.
