he's an english writer, he travelled for several years around england and spain. i think some of his books are still being taught in english schools. i read one, 'as i walked out one midsummer morning', i liked it a lot. it's about his travels around spain. i have never been to spain, but from how it's written i thought that he must have captured what he saw very accurately. i asked because i wanted to check that impression with someone from spain.
