This article focuses on the book "Byways in Southern Tuscany," written by Katharine Hooker. Italy, explored by Hooker in this book at her leisure lies, roughly bounded, south of Siena and west of the two lakes, Trasimeno and Bolsena. Two great raliroads, Rome-to-Florence, Rome-to-Pisa, skirt its sides, and only the scurrying diligence gives access to its forgotten and ruined cities. Such a book can be approached from the point of daily jauntings, for, making her base at Siena, the author went forth in a hired automobile for a few days at a time, as a historian, an archmologist, a student of architecture. Really good pictures are too few in this war swept region to fill a book.
