"Edmondo de Amicis probably combines more of the qualities which make a writer of travels than any one living. His temperament is such that he is at home anywhere. He can go off like Mungo Park on an hour's warning. He enjoys everything he sees, and sees everything that is to be enjoyed."

The beauty of De Amicis' travels is, that they are more than travels. They are not merely the record of so many passages a day: they are travellings plus seeings, listenings, feelings, thinkings, talkings, lovemakings, and about all that a warm-hearted imaginative educated young tourist would engage in; yet they are told without displeasing egotism or tedious detail."
