Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from Fjord, Isle and Tor
I have frequently felt, in travelling, the want of some portable volume, which would give me a general idea of the country I was visiting. Guide Books supply useful information about towns and hotels, and all the sights that must be seen. They rarely give any description of the people, and of their social and political condition. Doubtless there are works in which the information can be obtained; but they are often expensive, and the traveller, especially a pedestrian, does not want to carry a library with him.
