With an ear for good stories and an eye alert to detail, Morton creates a compulsively readable narrative that will satisfy the most curious traveler as well as the most informed and passionate reader of the Bible.

About the author:

Henry Vollam Morton was born in 1892 near Manchester, England. He became an international celebrity by scooping the world's press in the sensational discovery of Tutankhamen's tomb in the early 1920s. His newfound fame led to a series of popular vignettes on English city and country life and ultimately to a career as one of the world's greatest travel writers. He died in South Africa at the age of eighty-six.
