Her second marriage was to the British colonial administrator Tom Southorn and she wrote both fiction and non-fiction drawing on her experiences at his various postings. This book which was first published in 1914 is considered the first pocked guide to the island. It provides detailed information for the traveler including practical information on train schedules auto and rickshaw rentals climate currency etc. as well as many suggested itineraries with considerable detail of the history and culture of each site. An introductory chapter discusses Caylon's history and the inhabitants and their occupations and mode of dress and an afterword offers Woolf's reflections on "life below the surface that is only skimmed by the tourist" with particular attention to the lives of women.

20121002588London and New York: Hogarth 2012. Limited edition promotional kit number 288 of 1500 issued to mark the 2012 re-launch of the Hogarth imprint first created by Virginia and Leonard Woolf. The Woolfs founded the original Hogarth Press in their dining room at Hogarth House in 1917. Over the following decades they published not only their own work including all of Virginia Woolf's major novels but also new writing by Katherine Mansfield T.S. Eliot E.M. Forster Gertrude Stein Christopher Isherwood Edith Sitwell and Henry Green. They also issued English translations of Anton Chekhov Maxim Gorky Fyodor Dostoevsky Leo Tolstoy Sigmund Freud Rainer Maria Rilke and Federico Garcia Lorca. In 1938 Virginia Woolf relinquished her interest in the business; Leonard Woolf ran the press in partnership with John Lehmann until 1946 when Hogarth became part of Chatto & Windus. See J. Howard Woolmer A Checklist of the Hogarth Press 1917-1946.

This promotional launch kit pays tribute to the imprint's roots: "What began in London in 1917 finds a new life in New York in 2012."
