Smith, Bertram. Whole art of caravanning; being personal experiences in England and Scotland; with 6 il. from photographs. $1. Longmans.
“England and Scotland furnish the scenery, the stamping ground, the night’s lodging, and the caravan is nothing more or less than the covered wagon the gypsies use as house and home. The narrative sets forth the experiences of the author, Bertram Smith, traveling in the United Kingdom in such a wagon and camping in it when he had no mind to be moving or a particular reason for stopping. His object is to show how a holiday can be spent in this way, with what delight and satisfaction.”—N. Y. Times.
“Its title is perhaps a little over-ambitious, for it does not cover the ‘whole art’ to which he refers; and the reader who, with this guide, decides to spend a summer holiday in a caravan, will find that there are points he must elucidate for himself, though he will find a number of useful hints. The book is nicely illustrated from sketches and photographs: and the reminiscent vein in which it has been written is pleasantly humorous.”
