The resolute minority who still find their pleasure in walking
will be encouraged by Miss Clare Cameron's "book of footpath rambles," entitled Green Fields of England (Con- stable, 12s. 3d.). For this determined lady has made walking tours in the Chilterns, the Cotswolds, East Anglia, Yorkshire, on the Welsh border and in Central Wales, and everywhere has found an abundance of delightful places and kindly people. She writes pleasantly and gratefully of her expe- riences, though once in a way she breaks out in wrath at" the hated English Sunday of the provinces" because she had had a bad night in York. Her descriptions of the Chilterns round Princes Risborough and of Mid-Suffolk may be specially commended. The Icknield Way, impassable to cars, is one of the most delightful routes for the pedestrian within reach of London. Mr. E. L. Warre has illustrated the book with some drawings.
