Wanderings of Azrava O Leary and a French run away romance

Literary Chronicle reviews Azrava O Leary’s Wanderings and Ponderings in Many Lands. The essay, edited by Harry Larrequer, mixes travel bravado with humorous sketches of horses and European manners, ending with a runaway marriage tale in a Belgian inn and a comic wedding misadventure. The era’s tone blends satire on fashion and travel with a melodramatic plot in Dinant.
