A gem

(3 Sterne)

This book fascinated me. It's a travelogue, and took me through lands I've longed to see. The writer was engaging, and Betty the reader, delivered every chapter in an engaging way. I will remember especially the descriptions of Paris cafe's and markets, and the highly organized egg industry in Denmark, which I don't think exists today. A very worthwhile listen.
