Book Description
Athenæum.--"A most attractive little volume, wherein Mrs. Alec Tweedie gives a spirited account of a spirited jaunt.... Mrs. Tweedie has persuaded her father, Dr. George Harley, F.R.S., to add a chapter on Geysers, which forms an instructive and valuable appendix to this charming little book." Daily Telegraph.--"A very pretty and clever little volume.... Altogether the impression her excellent book gives is that the Land of the Sagas is more interesting than many a stock holiday resort, while many tourists should be obliged to Mrs. Alec Tweedie for showing how conveniently Iceland may be explored with the help of a little courage and cheerfulness." Liverpool Daily Post.--"The author has a pleasant unaffected way of relating her experiences which at once establishes her on the most friendly relation with the reader. To powers of acute observation and graphic description, she adds a sympathetic appreciation of Nature, which enables her to convey a vivid idea of the scenery and the people, the local colour, that is to say, of this little visited region." Spectator.--"This brightly written little book will amuse the reader--and perhaps induce him to undertake a like excursion. The authoress learnt to ride like a man, and found the fatigue of a long journey much lightened in consequence." Lady's Pictorial.--"Another of those fresh, bright, unaffected little books of travel.... Altogether a very agreeable little book, and I congratulate Mrs. Tweedie on her pluck and perseverance." Graphic.--"A pleasant volume of travelling impressions, given in unpretending and workmanlike style by the author. A great deal of useful information and shrewd observation is brought together in compact space." Pictorial World.--"A lively and interesting record of an enterprising and plucky young lady's ride in Iceland.... We congratulate our authoress on the pluck and endurance with which she undertook her journey to Ultima Thule, and upon the very interesting book which is the result." Illustrated London News.--"Mrs. Alec Tweedie is the authoress of this pleasing and instructive account of a tour round this remote island in the Arctic Circle.... She rode her pony, in a masculine attitude, to the Geysers and back, 160 miles, in four days, which, for a lady, seems to us to be a remarkable feat." Morning Post.--"This account of an autumn trip to an unhackneyed land is much better worth reading than many more pretentious volumes.... The authoress has an eye for what is worth seeing, a happy knack of graphic description, and a literary style which is commendably free from adjectival exuberance." Manchester Guardian.--"Mrs. A. Tweedie's account of her trip is so bright and lively that the novelty of her experience is rendered additionally interesting by her manner of describing it.... The authoress interests us from first to last, and her style is altogether free from affectation of fine writing ... her book, indeed, is both instructive and amusing." St. James's Gazette.--" ... Many interesting details of the history and social life of the Icelanders are set forth in a pleasantly chatty style by the spirited and observant lady who rode 160 miles like a man." Saturday Review.--" ... people intent on new fields of travel; Mrs. Tweedie's lively account of a voyage to Iceland, and its agreeable and entirely successful results, ought to inspire adventurous ladies to follow her example.... Mrs. Tweedie describes the wonders of the land with a keen appreciation, and has not forgotten to supply many useful hints."
