A fascinating volume of travel by the famous story-teller, whose route
is outlined with characteristic quaintness in the table of contents
given below. The chapters are a series of pleasant, informal talks with

curious and interesting sights of the old world;--a fancy that Mr.

views, give the book a high artistic quality and make it a volume
admirably suited for a holiday gift.
