While I realize that the author's descriptions of all the places he visits is extremely romanticized, I feel like that in this context that's a positive. So few people give the lesser known places even a glance, so it's really nice to see someone go on and on about them in absolutely beautiful prose.

Interesting look at lesser known areas in Europe, travelled by an American in the 1910s. I read it because it's one of the few books that even mentions Neutral Moresnet. He also visited Liechtenstein, Luxembourg and a couple of cities in South-Tyrol which were still under Austrian rule, but are described as basically Italian already.
