The American Charles Warren Stoddard (1843–1909) wrote quite popular travel books, especially those about Polynesia. South-Sea Idyls (1873) was his most popular book. A series of letters to a friend, “They are,” wrote William Dean Howells, “the lightest, sweetest, wildest, freshest things that were ever written about the life of that summer ocean.” Stoddard also wrote The Lepers Of Molokai (1885), a book that brought Father Damien and his charges to public notice. – Summary by David Wales     [chương_files]

Month on the Norfolk Broads

Rate this audiobook

Back in the late 1880s, Walter Rye and a number of friends accompanied by an American couple (who were researching the history of their Norfolk ancestry), took a holiday on the Norfolk Broads and enjoyed a leisurely tour around the waterways of this unique part of Eastern England.This book documents some of the highlights of their trip on board the wherry Zöe and the hybrid wherry/cutter Lotus, as they sailed and explored many places of interest of the region. Although born in London, Walter Rye’s family came from Norfolk, a county that he moved back to early in his life. He had a lifelong interest in the Broads region and was an acknowledged expert antiquarian in all aspects of Norfolk history. Interested but haven’t got a whole month to spare? Well, why not jump aboard anyway and listen in for a few short hours as “the poet, the athlete, the liar and the antiquary”, our American visitors and Mr Rye hoist their sails and head out to see what they can discover on their waterborne cruise. – Summary by TND     [chương_files]
