Industry Reviews
"Readers may also want to take their time with this reissued classic of 20th-century travel literature, enlivened by Mr. Vernet's drawings. Mr. Bouvier was a Swiss writer (1929-1998) whose buoyant spirits and effortless erudition must have made him the perfect chum to kill time with. To prolong the enjoyment of being in his company, I found myself laying his book on my chest for long sessions of daydreaming."
