Jungman, Beatrice. Norway: text by Beatrice Jungman; with 75 il. in col. by Nico Jungman. [*]$6. Macmillan.
“Mrs. Jungman does not concern herself ... with the past history of Norway, except with a few of its legends; nor does she allude to the present unsettled state of its politics. But the fact of Norwegian unrest ... makes ... an interesting background to her brilliant series of passing impressions.... Mr. Jungman is a charming artist, ... and he has done nothing more attractive than these portraits of Norwegian girls and children.... His sketches of Norwegian landscape are also most characteristic.”—Spec.
“She is always readable,—partly, no doubt, because she is so absolutely unpretentious; and the book is a welcome addition to an interesting and valuable series.”

“The limited scope of his work suffers considerably by comparison with the comprehensive title of the book.”

“The ‘text’ is friendly gossip about a trip in Norway, quite natural, with no straining after effect. The colour of the pictures is gay; it is too vivid for our liking.”
