Abstract
THE latest addition to Mr. Hissey's already long list of travel books will delight every lover of English byways. In a small motor-car, provided with camera and brush, Mr. Hissey went from lane to lane from Eastbourne to the Dukeries, Rugby being his most westerly, and Dunwich his most easterly, visit. There was no hurry and no bustle; and he preferred the country inn to the town hotel, for his “aim was to get into the heart of the real country.” The serenity and charm of his gossipy narrative show how well he succeeded in securing the quiet holiday he desired; and the beauty of his photographs and drawings indicates his re-discovery of some of the hidden glories of the English countryside.
