"Certain Delightful English Towns, with Glimpses of the Pleasant Country Between" by W. D. Howells is a travelogue written in the early 20th century. The work captures the author's observations and experiences as he explores various towns in England, highlighting their charm, history, and the picturesque countryside that connects them. Through his lens, Howells offers readers a glimpse into the cultural nuances of England and its locations. The opening of the book introduces the author’s entry into Plymouth, England, where he reflects on the complex connections between America and England. Howells describes his feelings of familiarity upon arrival, attributed to his English ancestry, and begins to recount his encounters with locals, such as a helpful hotel clerk and the peculiarities of English hospitality. He shares detailed impressions of Plymouth, from the vibrant promenade to the historical significance tied to the Pilgrims. Throughout this portion, the author balances humor and cultural commentary while painting a vivid picture of the town, characterized by its historical landmarks and the unique behaviors of its residents.
