Of course, I'm biased because I find Beryl fascinating.
This was a very quick read. Her prose is spare, quick and the point. Her observations display a wry humor, a genuine interest in people and customs, and an infectious love of travel.
Granted, I always hope for more details, but considering what I do know of Beryl should be glad she sat still long enough to even write this.

Beryl Smeeton is my hero - she was an amazing woman who lead an extraordinary life; how I wish I could have met her!

Delightful. A travel book that shows off the author as well as the places she visits.
