Best known as the author of 'The Road to Oxiana' (published in 1937), Robert Byron developed his considerable writing skills on a travel book which has not been in print since 1926. 'Europe in the Looking Glass' describes a journey Byron made with three friends, driving across Europe between two world wars, and mixes political and historical analysis with architectural insights, classical scholarship and the day-to-day adventures of three young and not very experienced travellers.

For fans of Robert Byron's work this will be a discovery; for others it will be an introduction.

Robert Byron (1905-41) was an author from a privileged background with a rebellious streak. He is considered one of the twentieth century's greatest travel writers as well as a noted art critic and historian. He died seventy years ago when the ship he was travelling in as a war correspondent was torpedoed by a U-boat in the North Atlantic.
