Shawl-Straps is a travelogue written by the renowned American author Louisa May Alcott. Originally published in 1895, the book chronicles Alcott's journey across Europe with her friend, Alice Bartlett. The two women set out to explore the continent, visiting a wide range of destinations including England, France, Switzerland, Italy, and Germany. Through her vivid descriptions and engaging storytelling, Alcott offers readers a glimpse into the sights, sounds, and experiences of European travel in the late 19th century. She recounts their adventures, mishaps, and encounters with locals, as well as sharing her observations on the culture, history, and customs of each country they visit. In addition to the travelogue itself, Shawl-Straps also includes a series of letters written by Alcott to her family back home, providing further insight into her experiences and thoughts during the journey. Overall, Shawl-Straps is a charming and insightful account of travel in a bygone era, written by one of America's most beloved authors.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
