A Tourist in Spite of Himself is a book by A. Edward Newton that tells the story of his travels to Europe. Newton, who is not particularly fond of traveling, reluctantly agrees to go on a trip with his wife. As they make their way through England, France, Italy, and Switzerland, Newton finds himself encountering a variety of interesting people and experiencing unexpected adventures. Along the way, he shares his observations on the places they visit, the people they meet, and the customs and traditions of the countries they explore. With wit and humor, Newton provides a unique perspective on the joys and challenges of being a tourist, even for someone who is not particularly inclined to travel. A Tourist in Spite of Himself is a delightful and entertaining travelogue that will appeal to anyone who has ever embarked on a journey, whether willingly or reluctantly.Ardent bibliophile and writer Alfred Edward Newton was the leading authority on book collecting in the first half of the 20th century. Some of the topics he writes about in A Tourist in Spite of Himself include: In Scandinavia, In Paris, House Hunting in London, House Hunting in the Country, In Egypt, In Jerusalem, etc. Another great read from A. E. Newton, author of The Amenities of Book Collecting.
