The Glorious Adventure (Gorgias Historic Travels in the Cradle of Civilization)

1927. An amusing, consistently readable and original book of travel, The Glorious Adventure is properly named. Seldom does one find a book so young in spirit-young in the finest sense of the term. Mr. Halliburton bubbles over with the joy of life. His laughter and his high youthful seriousness, sanely mixed with banter, are infectious.
