Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from Scraps From My Sabretasche: Being Personal Adventures While in the 14th (King's Light) Dragoons
That hem hath holpen, when that they were sake - Chaucer. Dear old canterbury with its castellated gateway, meet entrance into so ancient a city-its quaint narrow streets, pervaded with an air of quietness and repose its antiquated, gabled and bow-windowed houses; its hostelries, where even Chaucer's pilgrims may have put up its alms-houses, with ancient-looking men and women standing in the doorways, suggestive of those who stood there in like manner ages ago - its remains of convents, monasteries, and castles - its ramparts and towers, hoary with age, but only enhanced in their massive grandeur.
