Publisher's Synopsis
""Personally Conducted"" is a novel written by Frank Richard Stockton and first published in 1889. The story follows the travels of a group of tourists on a guided tour of Europe, led by a charismatic and knowledgeable tour guide named Mr. Twelvemough. The book is written in a humorous and light-hearted style, with Stockton using his own experiences as a traveler to provide insight into the quirks and idiosyncrasies of both the tourists and the countries they visit. Along the way, the group encounters a variety of adventures and mishaps, including a case of mistaken identity, a run-in with a band of gypsies, and a dangerous encounter with a wild boar. Through it all, Mr. Twelvemough remains a steady and reassuring presence, guiding the group through the ups and downs of their journey and imparting his wisdom on the art, history, and culture of each destination. ""Personally Conducted"" is a charming and entertaining travelogue that captures the spirit of adventure and discovery that comes with exploring new places and meeting new people.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
