Sketches in Holland and Scandinavia 12+

📙 This book contains a collection of ‘sketches’ written by Augustus Hare during the time he spent travelling through Holland and Scandinavia.

The chapters of this book include: “In Holland”, “In Denmark”, “In Sweden”, and “In Norway”. Augustus John Cuthbert Hare (1834 - 1903) was an English author and raconteur, famed for his witty, yet accurate writing.
