Books for the Wayfarer

A correspondent writes :-

" I have immensely enjoyed reading week by week the articles on ' Travel ' in the Spectator. As I am very keen on foreign travel I should be greatly obliged if you could help Me in a selection of good books relating to travel in foreign countries, particularly the Far East, India, Africa (north, south, and central), and Europe. I am not wanting guide- books, but a concise description of interesting cities and towns, details about the customs of the people, and what to see and visit when in these places, which have been written by English travellers who have lived or stayed for long periods in foreign countries."
