SUFFOLK SEA-BORDERS. By H. Alker Tripp (" Leigh Hoe ").

Illustrated by the Author. (John Lane. 8s. 6d. net.)—A yachtsman who can write and sketch is certain to produce an attractive book, no matter what part of the world he is describing. When, as in this case, he is concerned with home waters, from the Thames estuary to the Orwell and the Yare, he is assured of a large and friendly circle of readers, all the more readily because he cruised with a single companion in a converted smack of uncertain age which had no pretensions to gentility. Mr. Tripp's little volume is, indeed, delightful— one of those rare books that will be read again and again for its vivid and accurate notes of a leisurely cruise, for its glimpses of old East Anglian towns and villages, and for its genial humour.
