BULGARIA. By Frank Fox.
This book will give to the reader an adequate idea of a wild and little-known corner of Europe, but to those who look upon Bulgaria as a place of endless massacres and savage inhospitality the book will bring many surprises. The Bulgarian artist shows us a land in which civilisation is evident and art not unknown. The Australian author (who was with the Bulgarian Army as correspondent for the London Morning Post during the former Balkan War) writes of a people whom he found usually courteous, gentle, and worthy. His personal experiences of the Bulgarian peasantry are vividly interesting, and hardly less interesting is the brief sketch of the early history of Bulgaria, the country where the Roman Empire met its doom.
