CHAPMAN MORTIMER, Author of 'Young Men Waiting', 'Mediterraneo', etc. - This is neither a guide book nor a travel book. It is rather an account of one man's experiences during two years in Spain - a country with such a hold on the imagination of so many people that more nonsense is written about it than about any other in Europe. The true reasons for Spain's fascination are, however, apparent enough in this book. The author insists that he has invented nothing and writes 'only about what he knows', and clearly it is a country where invention is unnecessary. Every new moon and every full moon of every year are spectacles that are not only visible but compelling, but in Spain there is not only moonlight, not only the 'Bulls', or the spectacle, or even the good manners of the Spanish. There is something else, and obviously it is this something else that the author is in search of, even if he himself claims to be looking all over the east coast from Barcelona to Valencia for a little family circus, or merely for a bath. Whether or not he finds what he is looking for, this engaging book is packed full with the things and people - from Goyas to gypsies - that he actually finds. Spain will prove to be as irresistible to his readers as it was to him. Mr Chapman Mortimer's keen perceptiveness, and his imaginative sympathy with people and places, are the qualities of a painter and novelist who has been acclaimed as one of the most original and talented of the writers that have appeared since the war.
