THROUGH CORSICA WITH A
CAMERA
By MARGARET D’ESTE
Crown 8vo, cloth extra, 7s. 6d. net.
“Observant, animated and agreeably sensitive of the charm of the restful island it describes, it will be read with advantage and interest by every one who fosters ideas of some day going there.”—Scotsman.
“The book has a delightful touch of feminine vivacity, and the camera is almost as important in the production of it as the pen.”—Observer.
“Miss d’Este gives a very attractive account of Ajaccio.”—Spectator.
“Margaret d’Este gives a picturesque account of her wanderings all over the island, in and out of the beaten track, and tells us that she found its principal charm in its wild freedom, magnificent scenery and delightful climate.”—Daily Graphic.
“The reviewer is tempted at almost every page to quote, so full of description is this charming book, but space forbids.... We cannot remember enjoying any book so much since the days when William Blake told the tale of his journeyings.”—Daily Chronicle.
“A facile, charming style of writing; a quick, accurate observation of men, beasts, flowers, and things.”—Photographic Monthly.
“There are no fewer than seventy-eight photographs by Mrs. R. M. King and the author in this charming book of travel far from the madding crowd.... An unusually well-written and well-illustrated book.”—Northern Whig.
“The authoress has given us some delightful pen sketches of the scenery, delicate little vignettes of local colour, and strongly sketched-in characters of the natives, and the illustrations are decidedly enticing.”—Photographic News.
“The book is one of the brightest of recent travel volumes. Mrs. King’s photography is a worthy contribution to the work, and is worth studying by would-be picture makers, for its good placing of masses within the space, and for the strong yet not harsh way in which bold patches of deep shadow are placed against broad expanses of light.”—Photogram.
