STOP AND GO By V. C. Buckley
Stop and Co. (Hutchinson. 12s. 6d.) his little to distinguith it from the many other travel books of this, clast. Mr. Buckley described his experiences in Ireland, America, Luxembourg and Liechtenstein pleasantly , enough,. but travel undertaken for no particular pur- pose by a person with a conventional view of most things and only average curiosity can hardly be expected to provide material for a book of originality. The entertainment is therefore not very el- citing and no more informative than a packet of picture postcards. There are, however, no positively dull chapters. Mr. Buckley knows his limitations as a traveller and a writer, describes the ob- vious views in the obvious words and so being unpretentious is agreeable com- pany. The section on Luxembourg is the most interesting, for considering its attractiveness that country is still little known to English tourists. It is also the most irritating, for its sketchiness. What's the use of telling us that nearly every other shop is a patisserie, without telling us what sort of cakes it sells ?
