| Summary |
"The Charm of Scandinavia" by Francis E. Clark and Sydney Clark is a travelogue written in the early 20th century. The narrative unfolds through a series of letters authored by the character Phillips, who shares his experiences and observations while traveling across Sweden, Finland, Norway, and Denmark. The book aims to convey the beauty and charm of Scandinavia, notably highlighting the natural landscapes, cultural nuances, and local customs that enthrall travelers. At the start of the narrative, Phillips describes his journey from Berlin to Sweden, reflecting on the delightful comforts encountered along the way, especially in terms of the exceptional culinary experiences at Swedish railway restaurants. He paints a vivid picture of the contrasts between Germany and Sweden, from architectural styles to the warm hospitality of the Swedish people. Phillips also hints at a friendly debate with his companion Aylmer regarding which of the Scandinavian countries possesses the most charm, setting the stage for a comparative exploration of the region's allure throughout the subsequent letters.
