Ebook: The Orient Express

London: Constable & Co, LTd., 1914. — 328 p.Mr. Moore boarded that wonderful train, the Orient express, as a Times correspondent on his way to Turkey and Persia. When he returned he brought with him some additional luggage in the shape of mental travel-pictures, and these he attempts, with considerable success, to communi- cate to the reader of his book. He begins by asking us to join him inside besieged Tabriz in 1909, and he ends at a palmist's in Bond Street. The one scene is strung to the other by a thread of romantic adventures, which make the book extremely readable.
