Features: This book takes us to England, experiencing the Easter of spring and the rainy midsummer, as well as the rare autumn sunshine and New Year's visit to Westminster Abbey, attending the Oxford graduation ceremony without undergraduates, and strolling along the Thames River in the fog. It is not a travel guide, but it helps all readers understand the culture of London and the London of culture. England is the place Henry James chose as his second home. These travel essays were written by the author between 1888 and 1897, and he was called one of the great travel writers of the time by some British people for this work. Here is presented a passionate portrait of London, because he loves England and loves London.
