Elizabeth
Taylor (1856 - 1932) was a travel writer entranced by the Northern
climes. Her visits to Iceland, Canada, Norway and, above all,
the Faroe Islands, resulted in the essays contained in this book.
Her original writings were passed around for year and eventually
were given to her great-grandnephew who organized them and even
visited some of the places Elizabeth wrote about. There are 39
articles from Elizabeth's writings in this book along with letters
she wrote and received from family and friends along the way.
But your
collection seems to me quite independent of the years. They are
full of personal feeling and quite radiant with color. -- Ellery
Sedgwick, Editor, The Atlantic Monthly.
This
title was selected for the Minnesota Book Award as a 1998 Personal
Papers Award Winner.
