Complete and unabridged, with 58 full-page plates by Mariano Fortuny Marsal, John Phillip and Francisco Goya. A motor tour through Spain in the years when a car on those roads was still an event, with a chauffeur who is somebody else and a claim to a throne in the luggage. The Williamsons drove the routes themselves and wrote the books as a couple; the motoring is exact and the romance is the excuse. This edition binds 58 plates of painting with the text, among them works by Bennett Hubbard, Francisco Pradilla y Ortiz and John Phillip, alongside two restored and coloured illustrations.

Charles Norris Williamson (1859-1920) and Alice Muriel Williamson (1869-1933) were a British husband-and-wife writing partnership. He founded Black and White magazine; she wrote much of the actual prose. Together they produced a long series of motoring romances. Their works include The Lightning Conductor, The Car of Destiny, My Friend the Chauffeur, and Set in Silver.
