"Sketches in Holland and Scandinavia" by Augustus J. C. Hare is a travel diary from the 1800s that takes you on a journey through Holland, Denmark, Sweden, and Norway. The book is like looking through the author's travel scrapbook as he shares his thoughts and adventures. It starts with Hare landing in Breda, Holland, where he finds the scenery to be commonplace, which was contrary to what he originally thought a Dutch scenery was. In the city, the author gives details on being at a local inn, the town's quirky buildings, and a visit to an old Protestant church packed with historical signs, showing both the amazing artwork, and the falling apart state of them. With personal stories mixed with details on local life, food, and historical spots, Hare begins what will be an interesting walk through Northern Europe's culture and nature.
