Pele, I can see why they voted this way. He's not a writer in a hurry, so it
probably wouldn't suit anyone not already addicted to history. His style is
ponderous, but through that comes a real love for the history of places he
visits, and he often puts things into context rather than just giving loads
of facts as some travel/history books do.

I have never read any books by H V Morton, but my father-in-law loved them
and went to a lot of trouble to collect them. Some of them were signed.
I remember when Edward Blishen presented "A Good Read" on Radio 4 someone
chose an H V Morton book and Edward Blishen said when he was at school they
voted H V Morton the most boring author in the world.
