A cruise round the world in a luxury liner is the dream of every arm-chair traveller, and this latest book in Mr. and Mrs. Mais's -Holiday" series fully recaptures the delights of such a voyage.
This book departs from the pattern followed by its predecessors in that Mr. Mais was prevented by ill-health from going on the trip himself. The day-by-day account of the voyage is therefore the work of Mrs. Mais: while Mr. Mais delved into the historical background of each place on the itinerary and wrote a short historical survey of it.
We travel with Mrs. Mais in the Southern Cross as she visits such diverse places as Panama. Tahiti, Fiji, New Zealand_ Australia. South Africa and the Canary Islands: we share in her experiences and her moods.
Once again the Maises have pulled it off. with a mos: entertaining and readable book which their many admirers will welcome. Excellent photographs add to the interest of this book.
For the many thousands of readers of these travel series, this is a volume not to be missed. and once again excellent illustrations enhance the value of this entertaining and informative book.
"The style is simple and delightful, and the pages are packed with entertaining reading, what they saw, how they spent their time, where they stayed, in fact everything which goes to make a cruising holiday exciting . . . It's another travel triumph for Mr. and Mrs. Mais."
