The Royal Road to Romance: Travelers' Tales Classics

When Richard Halliburton graduated from Princeton, he chose adventure over a career, traveling to far away places. This vivid book, one of many he wrote, tells what happened, from a breakthrough Matterhorn ascent to being jailed for taking forbidden pictures on Gibraltar. "One of the most fascinating books of its kind ever written." (In 1939 the swashbuckler was lost at sea in the Pacific).
