La Mortola: In the Footsteps of Thomas Hanbury (In the Footsteps)

Childrens Toy Shop > Travel > Cadogan Guides
by: Alasdair Moore

March 31, 2004
I wasn't sure I was going to like this, since I don't know a great deal about gardening and had never heard of Sir Thomas Hanbury, but actually I found it fascinating.
Hanbury was one of those extraordinary Victorians. Born in Clapham he went out to Shanghai as a young man at the height of the Opium Wars to make his fortune. But unlike most of his compatriots Hanbury was a Quaker of high moral principle who thought the British treated the Chinese appalingly and wasn't afraid to stand up for what he thought was right. The Chinese came to adore him, since he did everything he could to help and support them. The British were less keen, but he was so successful (and stubborn) they had to listen to what he said.

Morocco (Cadogan Guide Morocco)

this guide is crap. granted, some of the commentary is interesting and amusing but the awful maps (often detailed with only three or four street names) and the inaccurate pricing system (accommodation is classified as "cheap," "inexpensive," "expensive," or "luxury" - usually incorrectly) make it more suitable as a weapon of defence against one of the country's hundreds of faux-guides than as a source of reliable information. look elsewhere. anywhere else.

Childrens Toy Shop > Travel > Cadogan Guides

In this masterly 'detective' story, Caroline Sanderson has risen above the missing Austen letters and also the sadly abused buildings that Jane would have known but would not recognise today. She reveals Jane Austen to be a perky, humorous and percipient woman,very much of her time. A fascinating read.
