Excerpt from Two Winters in Norway: Being an Account of Two Holidays Spent on Snow-Shoes, and in Sleigh-Driving, and Including an Expedition to the Lapps Every writer of a book is expected to have a reason or purpose in his madness. So to satisfy all enquirers at the same time I shall explain the three chief causes that induced me to attempt this book. The first reason was a sentimental one. My late father spent his honeymoon in Norway long before the country was invaded by peaceful foreigners bent upon their summer's holiday. He returned and published the information that he so industriously collected in a book - his first. The present sequel can be understood. The accuracy of his notes was extraordinary, and though Norway is girt with railways and telephone wires since that day, it is doubtful whether it would be possible to collect information that would be more correct or less biassed.
