Two vagabonds in Languedoc by Cora Gordon

Book Description: Bene Factum Publishing Ltd, United Kingdom, 2007. Paperback. Book Condition: New. 234 x 156 mm. Brand New Book. "Two Vagabonds in Languedoc" - written in 1925 - is Jan and Cora Gordon's charming and evocative sketch of the French village of Najac. Return today to the very same village on the border of the Departments of Tarn and Aveyron and many of the landmarks mentioned are still there; nowadays life goes on much the same. In their day, the authors were something of a publishing phenomenon. "Two Vagabonds" captures all the charm of France and, perhaps, helps explain why it's one of the major tourist destinations in the world. 
Val says I have just ordered this from abe books.co.uk. There were 18 copies available at differing prices, from around 5 pounds upwards and postage will be around 4 pounds. I like the description of Najac as one of the major tourist destinations of the world, but I think they mean France generally.
