Abstract
IN his latest book, Mr. Hissey is as successful as ever in painting the charms of travel in one's own country. The journey described in the present volume was begun without a premeditated plan; the author says:ββTo us the destination was a trivial detail, left to settle itself each day; the joy of the journey was the thing, therein our pleasure lay.β Certainly Mr. Hissey's gossipy description of the places and scenes they met with, and the quaint experiences they were fortunate enough to have, is more than sufficient to convince the reader that the fortunate possessor of a motor-car, a pleasant companion, and plenty of leisure, can have an excellent holiday indeed in straying from one shire to another, as fancy dictates.
