The novel records the interesting experiences and adventures of an egotistical German baron—one Otto Ortringel—and his pretty young wife, in company with a party of Anglicized cousins and their English friends, caravaning gypsy-fashion through the highroads of Kent and Sussex. The description of the pains and pleasures of civilized nomadic life is excellent and the dialogue crisp and amusing. As a study in contrasting national types of individuals, "Caravaners" carries a secondary interest quite apart from its intention as fiction. -Review of Reviews, Volume 42
