First hours in Spain

A literary comparison with the great Laurie Lee

The above is from my latest non-fiction book, *Slow Travels in Unsung Spain.

Below is Laurie Lee writing in greater poetic prose about his arrival in the port of Vigo (Galcia) in 1934. This excerpt comes from his As I Walked Out One Midsummer Morning, a modern classic masterpiece of discovery and self-creation.

*A thanks also to the Literary Rambles blog for recently including my book (in a post on William Chislett’s work) as one of “similar books by other foreign nationals.”
