Summary "As Seen By Me" by Lilian Bell is a travel narrative written in the early 20th century. The book chronicles the author's experiences and observations during her extensive travels across Europe, particularly highlighting her insights and reflections on the cultures she encounters. The narrative carries a personal touch, as it is presented through the author's unique perspective, offering readers a blend of humor, wit, and candid commentary on her journey. At the start of the narrative, the author introduces herself and her family's anticipation over her impending travel to Europe for the first time. The opening chapter captures the preparations for her journey, depicting familial interactions filled with humor and warmth, as well as her brother’s attempts to teach her about practicality in travel. The author's lively personality shines through as she contemplates her excitement and fears about becoming part of the traveling world. This combination of personal anecdotes, humorous exchanges, and the essence of embarking on a new adventure sets the stage for her explorations in Europe, making it clear that the narrative will offer more than simply travel information—rather, it promises a rich tapestry of experiences infused with the author’s distinctive voice.
