I had no idea Morris was such a wonderful writer. This sympathetically written book - illustrated with Morris's own enchanting line drawings - follows his/her career as travel writer, or rather as a perceptive describer of the great cities of the world and intelligent historian of the British Empire. The generous quotes from her writings show her to be wise and witty and whetted my appetite for more. A most pleasing little book!
