This early work by world famous Anglo-French author and historian Hilaire Belloc was first published in 1902 and is both expensive and hard to find in its first edition. Considered to be his best work by many critics, it details a pilgrimage he made from central France across the Alps and down to Rome following in the footsteps of many a Christian pilgrim. More than just a travelogue, 'The Path to Rome' contains detailed descriptions of the people and places encountered along the way, his drawings of the route, humour, poesy, and his reflections of the events of the time as he marches along his solitary way.
