Publisher's Synopsis

Penelope's Postscripts is a travelogue written by Kate Douglas Wiggin and first published in 1915. The book follows the travels of Penelope, a fictional character who sends postcards and letters to her friends back home detailing her adventures in Switzerland, Venice, Wales, Devon, and finally back home. Through Penelope's vivid descriptions, readers are transported to the stunning landscapes of Switzerland's snow-capped mountains, the winding canals of Venice, the rugged coastline of Wales, the picturesque countryside of Devon, and the comforts of home. Wiggin's writing style is engaging and humorous, making the book an enjoyable read for both armchair travelers and those planning their own adventures. The book is also notable for its beautiful illustrations, which were created by acclaimed artist and illustrator, Jessie Wilcox Smith. Overall, Penelope's Postscripts is a charming travelogue that captures the essence of travel and the joy of discovering new places.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
