Through Finland in Carts
Saturday Review (Books of the week).—“There is something that is almost, if not quite, fascinating about Mrs. Alec Tweedie and her manner of making a book. A monument of discursive energy. A mass of information both useful and entertaining.”
Daily Mail.—“Mrs. Alec Tweedie has added to our stock of entertaining books of travel in unfamiliar lands.”
Illustrated Sporting and Dramatic News (The book of the week).—“From first to last there is not a dull page in the volume, which is admirably written, well illustrated, and full of humour. It is one of the best books of travel we have read for many a year.”
The Speaker.—“There are many vivid pen-and-ink sketches in these pages of peasant life, and Mrs. Tweedie shows that she possesses not only a quick eye but ready powers of expression.”
Pall Mall Gazette.—“She saw everything and everybody in Finland, nothing—from the squalor of the peasants’ huts to the political outlook—escaped her lively observation. Her book is full of information and entertainment.”
Literary World.—“A most valuable book. It is more than a book of travel, it is the best study of Finland that has yet appeared; like the Finlanders themselves, it is extremely up to date, indeed it is difficult to imagine a better-balanced book of travel.”
Daily Telegraph.—“A spirited story of adventure in Finland. The account given of the women of Finland is very curious and instructive.”
Morning Post.—“Containing information of a very varied sort imparted in a very sprightly way. Sportsmen should read what Mrs. Alec Tweedie has to say about fishing in Finland.”
The Queen (The book of the week).—“Mrs. Alec Tweedie has written several good books of travel, each better than the last. Finland is really an excellent book—it is about the most entertaining and instructive travel book of the year.”
