Abstract
THE authors of this pocket volume have gathered into a small compass a great deal of information which should prove of value to boy scouts, girl guides, and other campers and country wanderers. The chapters are suggestive rather than exhaustive, and some compensation for their brevity is to be found in the short bibliographies attached to each. The sections on weather lore, map reading, and the history of roads are among the best. Those on the geological features of scenery and on wild flowers are too condensed to have great value. There are useful sections on camp equipment and on first-aid. Figures of architectural types are well drawn, and there is a folding map showing places in England and Wales held by the National Trust.
