Abstract
THE author describes how he set forth in search of unfrequented spots in his own country, and goes on to provide a pleasing and quietly entertaining account of the out-of-the-way places he visited. The start from Eastbourne in a motor car does not, it must be confessed, encourage the reader to expect much in the way of romance; but the motor car, because of its persistently satisfactory conduct, does not obtrude itself into the narrative. There is no attempt at “fine” writing, yet the author succeeds in maintaining the readers interest in the English and Welsh villages, passed through, and in conveying a pleasing impression of the characters of the natives encountered. The volume is illustrated by twenty-four halftone reproductions from photographs taken by Mr. Hissey on the journey.
