Have you ever dreamed of taking a road trip in a Rolls-Royce? Although that dream is out of reach for most of us, with this book, you almost can--and with an enchanting twist. John Kennedy's book is built around an album of photographs that were taken in May and June 1913 as famed English aviator James Radley drove his Rolls-Royce Silver Ghost from London to Vienna as part of the famous sterreichische Alpenfahrt, a grueling route that required drivers to traverse 1,650 miles--and nineteen mountain passes--in a mere seven days. Remarkably, both the car and the photo album survived, which allowed photographer John Kennedy to re-create the entire journey a century later--and re-take the photographs in the identical locations. The resulting book is truly unique: a record of time and change, of mountainous beauty and motoring enthusiasm, and, of course, of the never-ending allure of a Rolls-Royce.

John Kennedy lives part of the year in Britain and part in New Zealand, but wherever he is, he's sure to be driving antique cars.
