Round the World on a Wheel. (Dec. 1909.)
J. Foster Fraser.
Mr. Foster Fraser is the prince of special correspondents and lightning travellers. He started on his bicycle from England in 1896, crossed Europe, reached Persia by way of the Caucasus, traversed India to Calcutta, then went by way of Burmah through the heart of China, then to Japan, and home at last by way of America, bicycling from San Francisco to New York. The tale of this wonderful journey is told in a series of brilliant impressionistic sketches.
Dream Days. (Dec. 1909.)
Kenneth Grahame.
The figures in this are the same as those in "The Golden Age" (see page iv), and the art is no less delightful.
The Making of Modern Egypt.
Sir Auckland Colvin.
A book without a dull page, and in which the complex story of Egyptian development is turned into a romance.
