Robert Lynd in the Daily News.—“Captain Monckton has a lively pen. He has enjoyed his life among savages ... and his book is written with the zest of a schoolboy ... a frank and cheerful book.”
Times Literary Supplement.—“Mr. Monckton has written a boys’ book for men. In it something happens on every page.... It is a long book, though not a page too long.”
Daily Mail.—“A book of entrancing interest for boys and their fathers. It is a plain and a true one, and is stranger than fiction. The most remarkable book of travel and exploration since Stanley’s ‘Darkest Africa.’”
UNCONDUCTED WANDERERS
By Rosita Forbes. With over 70 Illustrations from photographs by the Author and others. Demy 8vo. 12s. 6d. net.
“Unconducted Wanderers” is a very amusing travel book of the best sort. After a spell of war work the author and a woman friend went to America, and thence to the South Seas, to Java, the Malay States, Siam, Cambodia, China and Korea. The book is extremely lively in tone and fresh in feeling, and the observations and experiences of the travellers, particularly in China during the Rebellion, are of quite unusual interest.
Evening Standard.—“Those in search of the perfect companion for a lazy afternoon in a hammock will find their wants admirably supplied by ‘Unconducted Wanderers.’ Their Adventures are retailed with an unfailing humorous touch, and the scenery and occupants of these far foreign strands are painted in descriptive language which is always vivid, and at times beautiful.”
