Synopsis
A collection of Lord Snowdon's photographs produced during a five-day visit to Israel in 1985, when he travelled from Beersheba in the South to the Northern Golan Heights. A foreword by John Mortimer precedes a vivid and eclectic mix of the artist's impressions of people and places encountered en route.

From Library Journal
Just like many another tourist, Lord Snowdon spent only five days in Israel making this photographic record of his impressions. What he comes away with is not ordinary, however, but an amazing photo-commentary on the complexity of that society of mixed religions, races, languages, and cultures. Here we find ordinary people engaging in the common acts of life. The superb quality of most of these pictures more than makes up for those that are less rewarding. The main charm of the book lies in its value to the returned tourist who can refresh his or her memory about places not quite remembered, not quite forgotten. Sure to be popular.
