"Travelling Sketches" by Anthony Trollope is a set of essays from the late 1800s that gives readers a humorous view of travelers, especially English tourists, and their families on vacation. The book looks at the different kinds of people you meet while traveling and makes fun of why they travel and what they get out of it. One example is an English family that goes on vacation because they feel like they have to. Readers see the dad feeling awkward, the mom feeling stressed, and the daughters trying to get the most out of their trip while dealing with different cultures. Trollope shows how travel can be both fun and a hassle, and he implies that sometimes people travel just to keep up appearances. The author uses humor to explore travel experiences.
