Book Overview
"All About Going Abroad" is an essential and practical guide to international travel written by the celebrated explorer and prolific travel writer Harry A. Franck. Written during the height of the interwar travel boom, this work serves as a comprehensive manual for the prospective globetrotter, offering a window into the logistics, etiquette, and excitement of world exploration in the late 1920s.
The book provides detailed advice on every aspect of the journey, from the intricacies of securing passports and booking passage on grand ocean liners to navigating the rail systems of Europe and understanding foreign customs. Franck, often referred to as the "Prince of Vagabonds" for his extensive solo travels, brings his wealth of first-hand experience to the text, ensuring that the reader is well-prepared for the nuances of 20th-century tourism. Beyond its practical utility, "All About Going Abroad" captures the cultural spirit of an era when global travel was becoming increasingly accessible yet still retained an air of grand adventure. It remains a significant historical resource for those interested in the evolution of the travel industry and the timeless allure of the open road.
