About this audiobook
With "East by West" we are immersed into long lost world of the Victorian era, we are introduced with the hardships and the incredible diversities while traveling in this period.

Sir Henry William Lucy JP, (1842-1924) was one of the most famous English political journalists of the Victorian era. He was also an accomplished humorist, and a parliamentary sketch-writer.
