L.C. Page’s “Spell of” series, published in the early 1900s, was a set of travel and regional books with titles like The Spell of Italy and The Spell of the Rockies. Each book mixed description, history, and personal impressions to give readers a sense of the place. The series was popular in its day and remains a recognizable example of early 20th-century travel writing.
