It was during this period that travel to the Near East had become quite fashionable, as the “Orient” was almost always described as exotic, unusual and mysterious. A Window Into Old Jerusalem will provide the reader with a 'look’ back to see what life was like for those living in and around the city that sits at the center of the world.
