About This Book
A young girl unexpectedly accompanies her parents on a European holiday, traveling from New York across the Atlantic and through England to the Continent. The narrative records life aboard ship, weeks in London, and scenic journeys by train and boat along the Rhine, with vivid visits to Cologne, Mayence, Nuremberg, and Strasbourg. Alongside practical travel details, local legends, cathedral architecture, and tourist sights are recounted, and interactions with guides and companions punctuate the itinerary. Illustrated chapters mix personal impressions, descriptive sketches of landmarks, and episodic accounts of excursions en route home.
