2.		The Discovery of France from Picador Price: £9.49 Customer Review: I must admit I was seduced by the wonderful cover photo of Mont-Saint-Michel, and the title which suggests a romantic travel book, where the local peculiarities are grounded in the authors knowledge of local history - something like a H.V.Morton's Traveller in Italy for today (and for France).more info	Customer Rating: 4.5 / 5.0 Click here for more information
