Mrs. Suzanne St. Barbe Baker's A Wayfarer in Bavaria (Methuen. 7s. 6d.) tells you the right things to see in that historic country, and how best and when to see them. If she has a favourite haunt, it seems to be Rothenburg, coyly hidden behind its thick beech forests, where if you go in the autumn or spring you can live again in the Middle Ages-. If you would shake clear of towns and buildings and hotels, there are the lonely gorges and peaks, not too difficult of ascent for the lightly-equipped and persevering walker, of the Bavarian Alps. Or, as a complete change of scene, there is always Munich and, in its season, Oberammergau. With Mrs. Baker's volume in head or hand, there is not much worth seeing in Bavaria that the visitor can miss, and once again we can pay cordial tribute to the usefulness of the Wayfarer Series.
