''A Ride In Petticoats And Slippers'' is a book written by Henry Edward Colvile and first published in 1880. The book is a travelogue that details the author’s journey through Europe on horseback. Colvile, who was a British officer, sets out on his journey dressed in traditional riding attire, including a top hat and boots, but he soon realizes that this is not the most practical outfit for a long ride. He decides to switch to more comfortable clothing, including a petticoat and slippers, which he finds to be much more suitable for the journey.The book is filled with anecdotes and observations about the places and people Colvile encounters on his journey. He describes the landscapes, architecture, and customs of the various countries he visits, including France, Germany, and Italy. He also provides insights into the social and political climate of Europe at the time.Throughout the book, Colvile’s sense of humor and wit shine through, making for an entertaining and engaging read. The book is a unique and charming account of a journey through Europe in the late 19th century, and it provides a fascinating glimpse into a bygone era.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
