Book excerpt: This is a fascinating book about a young Victorian woman's travels in Iceland.Young lady Ethel almost on a whim, she, her brother,another young lady and two other men decide to go to Iceland. Ethel has a very keen traveler's eye, and really brings to life her observations of Iceland in those times, when life hadn't changed very much for centuries. She exudes the attitude of superiority that all British people possessed in the 19th century, referring to the Icelanders as natives. However, she really seemed to show respect for the Icelanders and their wonderful literary heritage, and admired their toughness, honesty and egalitarianism.
