In the Old Paths (Barnes & Noble Digital Library)

This 1913 collection of literature-related travel pieces set in England does not blaze new trails but rather charms by the author’s distinctive personality and voice.  “It is the human, definite, personal quality in these ‘memories’ of Mr. Grant’s that one especially enjoys,” wrote a reviewer in the Dial. Included are “Wheathampstead and Charles Lamb,” “In England’s Pennsylvania,” “In Shakespeare’s Arden,” and “A Visit to Cowper’s Birthplace.”
