| Summary | "Peeps at Many Lands: Portugal" by Agnes M. Goodall is a travelogue complemented by vivid illustrations, written in the early 20th century. This work likely provides an engaging exploration of Portugal, touching upon its geography, history, culture, and daily life. It sets the stage for readers to discover the rich heritage of a country known for its historical significance, picturesque landscapes, and vibrant traditions. The opening of the book introduces readers to the geographical layout of Portugal, emphasizing its contrasts — from rocky mountains to fruitful valleys. It sketches a brief overview of its early history, mentioning the Celtic origins, Roman influence, and the subsequent rise and decline of its kingdoms. The narrative includes significant historical figures like Alfonso Henriques, who declared Portugal independent from Spain, as well as the eventual golden age of exploration led by figures such as Vasco da Gama. Overall, this beginning establishes a foundation for understanding Portugal's remarkable journey while hinting at more comprehensive explorations of its culture, people, and traditions that will unfold in the chapters to come.
