Did belong to a library before but book as well as wrapper still in good condition - Illustrated by Anthony Gross - This book collected various essays James had written on England over a period of more than thirty years, beginning in the 1870s. >>> I had been wanting to read this book for a long time. It is, perhaps, only for the die-hard James fan, or an Anglophile, or both. These are travel pieces originally written for magazines, and they are typically Jamesean: dense, obtuse, suave. Interesting, and fun, in their peculiar way. - "Before me and beside me sat a row of the comeliest young men, clad in black gowns and wearing on their shoulders long hoods trimmed in white fur. Who and what they were I know not, for I preferred not to learn, lest by chance they should not be so mediaeval as they looked." - "One need not be a rabid Anglican to be extremely sensible to the charm of an English country church..."
