The Path to Rome by Hilaire Belloc

This is the delightful story of the pilgrimage Belloc made on foot to Rome in order to fulfil a vow he had made “. . . and see all Europe which the Christian Faith has saved . . . ." In the Life of Hilaire Belloc Robert Speaight states: “More than any other book he ever wrote, The Path to Rome made Belloc’s name; more than any other, it has been lovingly thumbed and pondered . . . . The book is a classic, born of something far deeper than the physical experience it records." G. K. Chesterton says “. . . He will be a lucky man who can escape . . . into the flaming and reverberating folly of The Path to Rome." Includes over 70 excellent illustrations by the author himself. First published in 1902. Now re-published in a beautiful leatherette edition. 60 lb. quality cream paper, sewn signatures
