Description
'Do not dread an occasional night in the open when you are benighted and have no camp. There are few beds more comfortable than a dry ditch in England in June' Frank Tatchell Vicar of Midhurst 1923
'Every lady should to my mind know how to use a revolver. She may at any time be in China or some other country where there are savage natives' Walter Winans 1904
Fully illustrated with over 150 drawings and woodcuts The Lost Art of Travel is a hilarious antidote to the depressingly anodyne and hectic modern era of travel writing. Featuring chapters on Clothing Food Accommodation Modes of Conveyance Personal Defence and Holiday Pursuits among others it is sure to instil in all who read it a wanderlust satiated only by prising oneself from one's armchair gathering up portmanteau and umbrella donning a favourite tweed hunting jacket and setting off on a sterling voyage of discovery.
