Just as the Great Depression struck, Guy Austin, English radio broadcaster, moved his wife and two children and set out on an adventure!  They travelled America, settled in different places, secured any work they could get, made observations of  Americans and American life and generally – well, they had an adventure. Published in 1934, this is a window on the world of America at a significant period of history, as seen through the eyes of a matter-of-fact Englishman.
