Contains the author's final journeys as a Queen's Messenger; as they aren't enough to fill an entire volume, the balance comprises reminiscenes of his from his pre-Messenger days, as well as some post-Messenger travel with his wife, Dominie. The first book is the strongest; I recommend reading the series in order, though the material is not strictly cumulative. ( ) no reviews | add a review
In his final collection of reports, Queen's Messenger George Courtauld describes his recent visits to places including Mongolia, the Persian Gulf, Chile, Oman, and Thailand. He is, as ever, interested in everything he encounters, from flora and fauna to art, architecture, and history. But it is above all the quirks and eccentricities of his favourite species, Homo sapiens, that delight him most. No library descriptions found. |
