This volume of selections from Evelyn Waugh's early travel writings comprises "all that I wish to preserve of the four travel books I wrote between the years 1929 and 1935". It includes accounts of a Mediterranean pleasure cruise, of the coronation of the Emperor Haile Selassie in Abyssinia in 1930 and of the Italian invasion five years later, of visits to Aden and Brazil.
