This small volume contains an excerpt from Mark Twain's "A Tramp Abroad." Originally taken from his diary, this part of the story deals with the 10 days he spent in Switzerland in the summer 9f 1978. The charming illustrations are from the original first edition and really add to the text. There is also a fold-out panoramic view of Lucern, as the author must have seen it, pasted to the back cover. The text is in both English and German, which is lucky for me because the German is more advanced than I'm used to. ( )
