Summary "Penelope's Postscripts" by Kate Douglas Smith Wiggin is a collection of travel narratives written in the early 20th century. The book showcases the adventures and observations of its protagonist, Penelope, as she journeys through various picturesque locations in Europe, including Switzerland, Venice, and Wales. The delightful escapades reveal her character and capture the essence of the places she visits, drawing readers into her experiences and reflections. The opening of "Penelope's Postscripts" introduces us to Penelope and her friends as they travel through Switzerland. In this section, Penelope and her friend Salemina reflect on their travels while enjoying the beauty of Lake Geneva. Penelope's candid thoughts on the charm of ruins and her desire for more meaningful experiences prompt a decision to embark on an educational pilgrimage to Yverdon, the town associated with the famed educator Jean Henri Pestalozzi. This setting not only establishes the travel theme of the book but also the dynamic between the characters, with Penelope recognized as comical, thoughtful, and somewhat whimsical in her pursuits.
