F.J. Thwaites, well-known Australian novelist, took ship with his wife and son from Newcastle-on-Tyne to Oslo for an exhilarating tour through Norway, Sweden, Denmakr, Germany, France  and Switzerland:  Destintation Spain! Lured there by the low cost of living: ‘…live like a lord for less than £10 a week…a tourist’s paradise…’ The reader becomes a fourth passenger in a Hillman Estate car as it hurtles across Europe; see behind the scenes at a bullfight; saunter through the fabulous Alhambra and see castles, villages and monasteries from the medieval period. Illustrated with black and white photographs.
