About This Item
Boston: Houghton Mifflin Company. hardcover. Book VG-: mild shelf wear to boards and spine, ripple in spine, hinge starting at FFEP, name on FFEP, text unmarked, binding tight.. 12mo 420pp. from Preface: "...My acquaintance with Spain itself has been confined to the past twenty years or less. During this period I have visited the land five times, traversing it in all directions, entering and leaving it by all its cheif portals, at Port-Bou, at Algeicras, at Irun. I am convinced that it is only by a succession of visits at intervals that an unfamiliar country, of such marked and strong character as Spain possesses can be comprehended; it is necessary to meditate over one's impressions at leisure, to start afresh again and again, with some old prejudice removed, and a clearer vision of the essential facts; during a single visit, however lengthy, this is difficult to effect." #02568.

“All the same ... it’s a very important name. And I don’t expect there are many bears in the world called Paddington!”
