When he was almost sixty years old worried that he might have lost touch with the sights the sounds and the essence of America's people Steinbeck took note of his itchy feet and prepared to travel. He was accompanied by his French poodle Charley diplomat and watchdog across the states of America from Maine to California. Moving through the woods and deserts dirt tracks and highways to large cities and glorious wildernesses Steinbeck observed - with remarkable honesty and insight with a humorous and sometimes sceptical eye - America and the Americans who inhabited it. What he saw was a lonely generous nation too packed with individuals for single judgements; what he saw made him proud angry sympathetic and elated.
