‘Mr. Kempson spins his yarn with such spirit and breeziness that the reader is irresistibly carried away and cannot put down the hook until the last page has been turned. The sketches with which the book is profusely illustrated are full of humour, and his racy criticism of life and things in general makes most excellent reading.’—Yachting World.

THE ‘GREEN FINCH’ CRUISE. By F. Claude Kempson. Illustrated by the Author. 5s. net.

‘Unlike most books on cruising, “The Green Finch Cruise” is not written from the point of view of the “one-sport” man, but the common commonplace view of the all-round sportsman taking a holiday. Such a book really encourages people to try a single-handed cruise.’—The Field.
