Last October Peter Fleming published News From Tartary. This book, a year later, tells Ella Maillart's story of the same trip, from Peking to Kashmir. His previous book was One's Company -- her's Turkestan Solo, and both preferred travelling alone, but circumstances and difficulties compelled their joining forces on this trip, and it is interesting to compare the two, to trace similarities and differences in what they think worthy of note and how they tell the adventure of seven months in little travelled ways through China to India. Good reading -- spirited, amusing and informative.
