Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from The Adventures of Elizabeth in Rugen
Every one who has been to school and still remembers what he was taught there, knows that Rugen is the biggest island Germany possesses, and that it lies in the Baltic Sea of? The coast of Pomerania.
Round this island I wished to walk this summer, but no one would walk with me. It is the perfect way of moving if you want to see into the life of things. It is the one way of freedom. If you go to a place on anything but your own feet you are aken there too fast, and miss a thousand delicate Joys that were waiting for you by the wayside. If you drive you are bound by a variety of con siderations, eight Of the most important being the horses' legs. If you bicycle but who that loves to get close to nature would bicycle? And as for motors, the object ofa journey like mine was not the getting to a place but the going there.
