The Best Tour in Norway. By E. J. Goodman. Illustrated.
(Sampson Low and Co.)—Mr. Goodman thinks he has discovered the best route for the traveller in search of scenery in Norway. It certainly seems to have combined the finest effects with the shortest time and the easiest travelling. He obtained a con- tinuous succession of that wonderful fjord scenery, alternated with gentler scenes, and seems to have done the journey comfort- ably at a reasonable expense. The fairly careful traveller could get through the tour, says Mr. Goodman, including steamer fares, for fifteen shillings a day, and less if be shared the driving ex- penses with a companion ; and a walking tourist might do it for ten shillings. If a walker really did see all these places on that allowance, he would take much longer, of course, but would learn more about the Norwegians. Mr. Goodman's tour included the crossing of the Folgefond by sledge. The illustrations are capital reproductions of beautiful photographs.
