Reseña del editor

London: An Intimate Picture THE LURE OF LONDON TO those of us whose tongue is English, London is the most romantic spot on earth. I am aware of the sweep of such a generalization. You may love your Italy and warmth and sunlight, and you may look upon Florence, Venice, Sorrento, Monte Carlo, as spots created for bliss terrestrial. It is my own case! You may even know something of what is spoken of as The Call of the East. Gloomy days of fog and rain may thrust before you irresistibly the mirage of gleaming white houses screened by palmetto and orange trees, semi-tropical verdure of a freshness that wrings your very heart with longing for them. Or you may have a taste for the clear, dry air and snows of the North. Yet to me, at all events, nothing is comparable to the romance of London.
