The Royal Road to Romance
by Richard Halliburton

From the Travelers' Tales series.

Richard Halliburton graduates from Princeton University and decides to take a different path in life than his overly serious roommates. With limited funds, he chats his way onto a cargo ship that leads him to the adventure of a lifetime.

In The Royal Road to Romance, follow Halliburton as he:

- Makes a first ascent of the ice-covered Matterhorn in Switzerland
- Hunts a man-eating tiger in Dhamtari
- Spends the night alone behind the gates of the Alhambra in Spain
- Is jailed for taking forbidden photographs of Gibraltar
- Joins a steamship full of Greeks and works his way to Calcutta
- Camps out at the top of the Kheops overlooking the Nile
- Finds a strange ecstasy while alone overnight in the Taj Mahal
- Treks 500 miles in the Himalayas to see hidden Ladakh
- Climbs Mt. Fuji in winter and almost perishes on his descent
- Is captured as a stowaway on a ship from Java to China
