Four Months Afoot in Spain - [Illustrated]

by Harry A. Franck

Overview

Published in 1911, Four Months Afoot in Spain chronicles the adventures of travel writer Harry A. Franck as he spends four months traveling through Spain on a budget of just $172.00. Full of interesting characters and wry observations of Spanish culture, Franck, author of twenty-four travel books, provides a fascinating glimpse of a time just before the First World War changed the face of Europe forever. This is not a travel guide to the “Sights” of Spain but an introduction to the extraordinary Spanish people, the farmers, mine-workers, street-singers, policemen and Matadors.

This edition contains all the photographs form the printed edition and has a working table of contents. This was scanned and converted from the 1923 reprint and has been edited to correct the errors that are inevitable with any OCR conversion.

About the Author

Harry Alverson Franck (1881 - 1962) was an American travel writer and teacher in the early 20th century. While in college he bet a fellow student that he could travel around the world without money. A few years later he set out to prove it. For the next sixteen months he worked his way around the globe and chronicled his adventures in hs book, A Vagabond Journey Around the World (1910). The book sold well enough that he was encouraged to continue his travels. He wrote a total of twenty-four books detailing his travels between 1910 and the 1940s. The last book, Winter Journey Through the Ninth describing the conditions in eastern France during World War II, was not published until the year 2000.
Most of his works are out of print, though used copies can usually be found.
