Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from The Road and the Inn The following pages contain the simple and unvarnished chronicle of a leisurely and most enjoyable holiday on the road; leisurely, be it noted, though taken by motor-car, one conveniently small for exploring narrow byways and lanes, also one easy to manage, economical to run, and that had gone many a long and rough journey with me without a breakdown so - its English makers have my blessing. I am told that those who travel by car never have time to enjoy the scenery they pass through, only "hurrygraphs" being vouchsafed to them, but that is the fault of man, not the car, for matter is not master of mind. Now mine was a purely pleasure jaunt, so speed, that robs us of many a fine joy, had no part in it. Large towns, - "I travel to forget the town and all that is in it," - tourist-haunted spots, show places, and holiday scenery (if I may be allowed the expression) I avoided; rather I sought my pleasure in exploring the quiet and remote country-side, searching for the picturesque and unfamiliar in many a forgotten nook and corner of the land, over which there broods the peace of the long ago.
