About this book
Sketches in Holland and Scandinavia is a book by Augustus J. C. Hare. The preface says the slight sketches in the volume are only the result of ordinary tours in the countries they attempt to describe. The preface also says the author cannot help hoping that publication may lead others to enjoy what is at once so pleasant and so easy of attainment. The contents list four parts: In Holland, In Denmark, In Sweden and In Norway.
The text records that it has been aptly asserted that the sea to the inhabitants of Holland is what Vesuvius is to Torre del Greco. Bergen-op-Zoom is called a clean, dull little town with bright white houses surrounding an irregular market-place, surmounted by the heavy tower of the Church of S. Gertrude. At Elsinore (Helsingor), the great castle of Kronberg rises, with many towers built of grey stone, at the end of the little town on a low promontory jutting out into the sea.
