Ethel Brilliana Alec-Tweedie’s follow-up to ‘A Girl’s Ride in Iceland’, chronicles her travels to Norway, following the death of her family, and challenges conventions of female travellers of the time. Ethel and her sister’s visits to Norway in the winters of 1891 and 1893 left a lasting impression due to the magnificent scenery and curious local customs. The frontispiece shows Ethel ‘in ski dress’, with cover design by George Miller and updated Preface for the second edition. Rare.
