Book Reviews of A Traveller in Rome
Book Review: Still the best single guidebook to the Eternal City
Summary: 5 Stars
It is marvellous that this, and other Morton books, are being republished. I first read 'A Traveller in Rome' as a teenager, not long after it was first published, and fell in love with the city at second-hand. A few years ago I spent three weeks in Rome, and found Morton's book ideal as a friendly, wise and incredibly knowledgeable book. It's not the kind of guidebook you carry around with you, from the Forum to St Peter's (it's a bit too substantial for that!) but it's ideal for research in advance, or checking more detail afterwards. But more, than that, it's an extraordinarily evocative and memorable read. I've been slowly collecting all Morton's books in second-hand copies, as even the earliest, though quaint, are worth reading, but it's these late Italian volumes that are his real masterpieces.
