This outstanding collection of pieces, illustrated with his own
superb photographs, is a unique record of Newby's travels all over
the globe - and a lasting tribute to lost and fading worlds. One of
the funniest and most entertaining of all travel writers, Eric
Newby has been wandering the by-ways of the world for over half a
century. Admired for his exceptional powers of observation, Newby's
genius is also to capture the unexpected, the curious and the
absurd on camera. Since his very first journey in 1938, Newby's
quest for the unknown and the unusual has been insatiable. Whether
on a dangerous canoe trip down the Wakwayowkastic River, with the
pastoral people in the mountainous north of Spain, or visiting the
exotic archipelago of Fiji, nothing escapes his eye for unlikely or
amusing detail. A rare combination of travel writing and
photography, What the Traveller Saw is an exhilarating record of
Newby's humourous adventures over the years.
