Pictures of Sweden

"Pictures of Sweden" by H. C. Andersen is a book of recollections of Hans Christian Anderson's travels through Sweden in the 19th century. He brings the magical and charming quality that made him a master of fairytales to this non-fiction travel log. With a healthy dose of local lore and culture as well as the visual descriptions of Sweden's beauty, this book is a magical book that's just as entertaining and useful today as it was when it was first written.
