Morton is excellent, yet again!

The book ended too soon, but while I was reading it I had an informed campanion that made me feel I was traveling at his elbow. Steeped in relevant conversational history that goes down before the reader knows it's history. He has sympathy for the people he meets and the places he seeks out. The book was written in 1968 but is a must for anyone traveling south of Rome today. Be warned it will want to make you go there. ( )

Quotations
Leaving Rome early one morning in May, I arrived at Tivoli before the baker's boy. Chairs were still piled on the tables of the cafe, and the room, littered with the evidence of last night's dinners--the unremoved bottle, the filled ash-tray--wore that raffish air which the freshness of early sunlight bestows upon such scenes.
