Main > Literature > Travel - Alone, by Norman Douglas ( link ) Summary: This is the favourite work of arguably the greatest travel writer. Here Norman Douglas chooses to go on a walking-holiday in southern Italy to avoid the irrational inefficiencies of glorified WWI war departments, at a time where there was no tourism in southern Italy. He writes not just of the people he sees, but of civilisation, past and present, from the perspective of the very rare, highly self-educated and leisured aristocrat.   kellyjones00 (593)

Main > Literature > Travel - Romany Life, by Frank Cuttriss ( link ) Summary: This is about true gypsies as experienced by their "gorgio" (non-gypsy) friend, Cuttriss, in England in 1915. He talks gently of the nomad's values, humour, food, shelter, skills and attitudes, and gives a short glossary of Romany jib with links to Sanskrit and Hindustani.   kellyjones00 (593)
