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.
