About This Book
A sequence of travel letters recounts the writer's humorous, impressionistic tour of Europe, from pre-departure preparations and an Atlantic crossing to visits across Ireland, France, Italy, Switzerland, Germany, the Netherlands, Belgium, and England. The narrative blends light anecdote and practical observation about clothing, itineraries, transport, food, and art, and offers candid notes on local customs, urban life, rural scenes, and historic sites. Comic self-awareness accompanies curiosity, and sketches of personalities, museums, landscapes, and culinary encounters convey the everyday experience of foreign travel.
