The book is illustrated with numerous sketches and drawings made by the author during his travels. Overall, ""A Holiday In The Happy Valley With Pen And Pencil"" is an engaging account of a fascinating journey through a beautiful and exotic land.The Devon Place Hotel may be the best in Karachi, but it is pretty bad, I am told that all Indian hotels are bad--still, the breakfast was a considerable improvement on the Marie Valerie, and we sallied forth as giants refreshed to have a look at Karachi and do a little shopping. It being Sunday, the banks were closed, but a kindly shopman cashed me a cheque for twenty pounds in the most confiding manner, and enabled us to get the few odds and ends we wanted before going up country--among them a couple of ""resais"" or quilted cotton wraps and a sola topee for Jane.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations. Because we believe this work is culturally important, we have made it available as part of our commitment for protecting, preserving, and promoting the world's literature in affordable, high quality, modern editions, that are true to their original work.
