The Venice so extensively and lovingly described by Howells of course no longer exists - hordes of tourists (and their money) have made sure of that. Which makes this genial, involving book all the more enjoyable - Howells could be a bit of a stuffed shirt at times, but in his travel writing, and especially in this volume, he's a wonderful guide and companion and even, in his slightly plodding way, a good raconteur! Most editions of this book come with line-sketches, but you won't need them - Howells' perennially-underestimated literary ability is on full display and paints even better illustrations with his words. A perfect book for any lover of Venice.
