Sir Osbert Sitwell, the eldest of the three Sitwells, set out on his Grand Tour of the Orient in 1933 and arrived in Peking in February 1934. The reader, through Sitwell's eyes, is offered a series of images of the ruins of Angkor in Cambodia and of Peking, the culminating points of his journey. This is a fine example of Sitwell's prose, as well as one of the best pieces of travel writing to emerge from this period.
