Vagabonds in. Perigord. By H. H. Bashford. (Constable anti Co.

4s, 6d. net.)—Only ire Prance could a walking tour begin and end at hostelries ea aptly named as the Café of the Beautiful Star and the Hotel of Peace. Mr. Bashford's agreeable narrative is wholly in keeping with such an opening and such a close. His adventures in a part of France which is less known to English travellers than its beauties deserve are told in an infections spirit of sunny contentment, and his book is delightful to read.
