Max Pemberton in the Sphere:—“… Will be read and reread by all who have toured Wales a-wheel. Mrs. Stawell is a charming writer; she has a fine sense of the road, and she adds to it a literary insight that is always captivating.… I have rarely encountered a book so full of pleasant literary gossip and yet so very practical.”——World:—“This most artistic book … gives a sympathetic description of all that is worth seeing in Shropshire, North Wales, the Heart of Wales, South Wales, and the Wye Valley. I do not think I have ever seen such beautifully-arranged photographs in any book of travel.”
MOTOR TOURS IN YORKSHIRE
With 48 Illustrations from Photographs, and Map.
SECOND EDITION.
“This charmingly-written account of motor travels in Yorkshire has no feature in common with the ordinary dry-as-dust matter of fact guide-book. The volume is one of the most fascinating books of home travel, within its own assigned limits, with which we are acquainted.… Full of exquisitely finished photographs.”—Standard.——“Motorists require a new order of guide-book, which shall be as independent of show places and beaten tracks as the happy possessor of a car. Mrs. Stawell has gauged by practical experience the new requirements, and has now done for the county of broad acres what her previous volume did for the Principality.”—Outlook.
MOTOR TOURS IN THE WEST COUNTRY
With 48 Illustrations from Photographs, and Map.
In common with Mrs. Rodolph Stawell’s other books of Motor Tours, this delightful volume is specially written for those who like to know something of the history and antiquities of the places through which they pass, and for lovers of beautiful scenery. At the same time all the principal roads of Devon and Cornwall are discussed in considerable detail, and though Somerset is not fully dealt with, there are two chapters on that county. Each chapter is preceded by a summary of distances, &c. The book is illustrated by 48 photographs by R. de S. Stawell, and contains an index and map of the routes.
