Travel Writing

About This Book

A travel narrative moves through the country's regions, describing landscape, climate, and people while visiting coastal cities, archipelagos, canals and inland districts. The author sketches Gothenburg, Bohuslän, the Göta Canal, Stockholm and its skerries, Gotland, Dalecarlia and Lapland, offering impressions of local customs, seasonal festivals such as a traditional Christmas, and natural phenomena including the midnight sun. Emphasis falls on outdoor life and sports—skiing, skating, ice-yachting—and on architecture, waterways, and rural scenes, with practical observations for visitors and color illustrations that evoke townscapes, harbors, and wilderness settings.
