Written by Alec Waugh, the lesser known brother of Evenlyn Waugh, Hot countries covers a selection of the travels he did between 1926-1929. He visited countries including Tahiti, Martinique, Siam, Ceylon, Singapore and Haiti. Waugh writes that ‘Travel in those years was pleasant, easy and cheap. Railways and steamship lines had recently made accessible a number of out-of-the-way places that a few years earlier could only be reached with great difficulty and considerable financial cost…’. It includes woodcuts by Lynd Ward.
