| Summary | "Sketches in Holland and Scandinavia" by Augustus J. C. Hare is a travelogue written in the late 19th century. This work compiles the author’s impressions and experiences from his tours through Holland, Denmark, Sweden, and Norway. The text captures the charm, history, and landscapes of these regions, inviting readers to share in Hare's delightful adventures and observations. The opening of the journey begins with Hare arriving in the bustling city of Breda in Holland. He describes the initial landscape as pleasantly average, contrasting with his expectations of picturesque Dutch scenery. He recounts his experiences at a local inn, the town's unique architecture, and a visit to a notable Protestant church filled with historical remnants, displaying both the beauty and the decay of Dutch artistic heritage. Hare shares a blend of personal anecdotes and observations about local customs, cuisine, and historical sites, setting the tone for what promises to be an engaging exploration of the cultural and scenic riches of Northern Europe.
