The Other Side Of The Lantern: An Account Of A Common Place Tour Round The World

About the Book:-The narrative of the author of his world tour that he under took in the early 1900’s. Starting from Tilbury on the Thames is quite a fitting place from which to take ship for a journey to the Radiant East, especially when, the time is November and when the river is shut in by a freezing fog. The Spot is benumbing and without sentiment, but it has some interest by contrast. It is the grey curtain hanging before the brilliant scenes of the play. The voyager, leaving his native island, who would follow entailed impressions, should start from a sunny cove in Devonshire and put off in a boat. Along with the trip, the author also takes the reader through a voyage of searching. It is a descriptive with lots of observation and anecdotes.

The book contains 40 beautiful photographs to delineate the voyage more vividly. This book is a reprint of the 1905 edition.
