A daughter's perspective.
Outback and Beyond: The travels of Sidney and Cynthia Nolan, is five travel books slightly condensed into one. Off the beaten track travels across Australia (1949), New Guinea, Africa, China (1965) and the USA (1958). Wonderful descriptions, commentary and observations by the writer Cynthia with thoughtful and sometimes rye comments quotes from her husband. Kenneth Clark, art historian, remarked that Cynthia Nolan was one the best travel writers of her time. Unfortunately the book is out of print but worth a good search.
