ISBN Visit to Don Otavio : A Traveller's Tale from Mexico

This affectionate study of the Mexican temper is 'one of the most charming travel books ever written.' -- The Atlantic Monthly . Before returning to the Old World after World War II, Sybille Bedford resolved to see something more of the New. 'I had a great longing to move,' she said, 'to hear another language, eat new food, to be in a country with a long nasty history in the past and as little present history as possible.' And so she set out for Mexico--and, incidentally, to write what Bruce Chatwin called the best travel book of the twentieth century, 'a book of marvels, to be read again and again and again.'
