DESCRIPTION
The second edition of this scarce work.
A charming travel work documenting a summer and winter spent in Norway, by Diana de Vere Beauclerk.
Beauclerk set out at the age of 24 to Norway in the summer of 1867 alongside her mother and their maid, this being a narrative account which does not attempt to be a guidebook.
Illustrated with a frontispiece, and three plates, from the author's own sketches.
Diana de Vere Beauclerk was the wife of the eminent criminal lawyer Sir Walter Huddleston, and also published 'True Love'.
Four pages of adverts to the rear.
Collated, complete.
