Through Scandinavia to Moscow

by William Seymour Edwards

"Through Scandinavia to Moscow" by William Seymour Edwards is a travelogue written in the early 20th century. It recounts the author's intimate experiences, insights, and observations during his journey through Scandinavia and into Russia, culminating in Moscow. The book is framed as a collection of letters penned during a honeymoon trip, filled with vivid descriptions of the landscapes and cultures along the way. The beginning of the travelogue sets the stage for Edwards's adventure, as he details the journey from London to Denmark across the North Sea. He introduces his fellow travelers, including notable characters such as an Englishman freshly returned from service in South Africa, and delves into the various encounters he has aboard the ship. The narrative captures the shift from the bustling atmosphere of London to the quieter, more serene Danish landscapes and culture as he arrives at Esbjerg, providing readers with a taste of the charm and nuances of his experiences in Scandinavia.
