On offer is an original diary handwritten by Miss Ethel Dyson during over 39 pages her trips to Italy, April 4, 1913 - April 25, 1913 and her trip to Belgium, The Rhine and Switzer land, August 9, 1913 - August 30, 1913 with her mother and father [Edwin]. [There are 2 Thomas Cook and Son itineraries covering the 2 different trips.] Miss Dyson is a rather charming diarist but can be pointed as she notes - 'It took a long while passing thro the Customs House where the officials are very excitable and stupid'. She also states there is a Lady Spencer in the party although the passenger list only refers to a Mrs. Spencer. Overall this is a rather lovely travel diary of two fast paced tours of targeted European locations by a charming detailed writer.
