The Gentlemans Guide to Travel - Vic Darkwood

The Gentlemans Guide to Travel by Vic Darkwood (Nicholas Jolly) is a humerous look at travelling the world through the eyes of a Victorian explorer. From the blurb: 'The advantages of travel are incontestable: it broadens the mind as well as helps one to avoid the iniquities of a less-than-perfect married life. Those of an expeditionary bent will find this guide full of timely and much-needed counsel, their appetite for wanderlust whetted at every new page. Mr. Darkwood's sage advice--including how to repel leeches and maintain personal hygiene in the filthy heat of the Tropics--is sure to inspire a desperate ache for the cut and thrust of adventure in even the most urbane.' Hardcover. 256pp with b&w illustrations.
