About This Item
Faber & Faber, London mcmliii Hardcover, 8¼" x 5¼", with dust jacket Jacket has short tears at top of spine. Previous owner's name (1974) to ffep, and original bookseller's label (Perth, WA) to inside cover. GOOD book in GOOD clipped dust jacket Light-blue cloth-bound boards with red type to spine. "I have been in twenty-four countries, four continents and about a dozen islands," the author writes in her first chapter. Here are 33 stories about some of them - packed with joys, woes, lessons, and humour. All the minor harassments and embarrassments - straying luggage, bumptious officials, leaky mosquito nets, linguistic blunders, and cockeyed strangers - proclaim the drolleries of living in a suitcase. Over thirty years of haphazard globetrotting.
