Prom Irish. Castles to French Chilteaux. By Norma Bright Carson.

(T. Werner Laurie. 6s. net.)—This is a little book of the vague but enthusiastic impressions of an American lady who enjoys travelling and sight-seeing, and who does her best to convey some of her pleasure to her readers by descriptions, in prose and verse, illustrated by photographs taken by herself. She begins with a very short visit to Ireland, thence she goes to Scotland, then to England, where she spends most time, ending with a glimpse of France and some experiences of storms at sea.
