In Auvergne A Flight to the North-East

A trip through many parts of France, not to the larger cities, but to the smaller and out-of-the-way towns not often visited and little known, and above all through the country itself. With grace and lightness of touch, Mrs. Wharton gives an impression of a town, a castle, a church, suggesting its charm, its story, and its look to-day with inimitable skill.

Italian Backgrounds
Illustrated by Peixotto

"Belongs in that small class of books of observation which are also books of artistic and spiritual interpretation; which not only describe places and monuments, but convey an impression of peoples, a sense of society, with the elusive atmosphere in which everything of historical or artistic value is seen by those who have the gift of sight."
—The Outlook.
