‘We believe that it is precisely the traveller desirous of reconstructing the scenes of the Bible who will be most interested in the country’s present development, proceeding, as it largely does, on the lines of Biblical tradition…Spring and autumn are the most favourable seasons for visiting Palestine.’ So reads the ‘Foreword’ in this Guide to New Palestine, dated ‘Iyyar 5694 (May 1934).’ This guidebook was once owned by Charles Brasch, who could well have used it while he was living in the Middle East. The ‘Four-ton Candlestick’ from the Otago Daily Times (February 1956) was loosely tipped in.
