Books of Travel by E. V. LUCAS
A Wanderer in London
With sixteen illustrations in color by Mr. Nelson Dawson
and thirty-six reproductions of great pictures
Cloth, 8vo, $1.75 net; by mail, $1.87
“Mr. Lucas describes London in a style that is always entertaining, surprisingly like Andrew Lang’s, full of unexpected suggestions and points of view, so that one who knows London well will hereafter look on it with changed eyes, and one who has only a bowing acquaintance will feel that he has suddenly become intimate.”—The Nation.
A Wanderer in Holland
With twenty illustrations in color by Herbert Marshall
besides many reproductions of the masterpieces of Dutch painters
Cloth, 8vo, $2.00 net; by mail, $2.14
“It is not very easy to point out the merits which make this volume immeasurably superior to nine-tenths of the books of travel that are offered the public from time to time. Perhaps it is to be traced to the fact that Mr. Lucas is an intellectual loiterer, rather than a keen-eyed reporter, eager to catch a train for the next stopping-place. It is also to be found partially in the fact that the author is so much in love with the artistic life of Holland.”—Globe-Democrat, St. Louis.
“It is hard to imagine a pleasanter book of its kind.”—Courier-Journal, Louisville.
A Wanderer in Paris
With sixteen illustrations in color by Walter Dexter
and thirty-two reproductions of works of art in half-tone
Cloth, crown 8vo, $1.75 net; by mail, $1.87
In some respects it is a glorified Baedeker, a guide for the traveller interested in French history, in pictures, and in the distinctive qualities of the French people. There is charm in its vivid painting of the vivacity and gayety of Paris streets, fine analysis in the penetration that sees often a suggestion of anxiety under the animation of face and gesture. He has a happy faculty of creating a desire to see the scenes he describes and a knack of expressing exactly the shade of pleasure the cultivated traveller has felt and perhaps been unable to put into words.
