A Little Tour in France (Barnes & Noble Digital Library)

by Henry James

Overview

First published in 1884, and revised substantially in 1900, A Little Tour in France recounts James's six-week tour of provincial France—as he notes "France may be Paris, but Paris is not France." Urbane, witty, knowledgeable, James is a charming tour guide as he leads readers from Touraine to Provence, and thence north again to Burgundy.

About the Author

Henry James (1843-1916) was born in America but after forty years in England became a British subject in 1915. A consummate prose stylist and innovator, possessed of acute psychological discernment, James took the art of the novel to rarefied heights in such masterworks as The Turn of the Screw and The Golden Bowl, helping to pioneer literary realism.
