Isabel Anderson arrived in Brussels when her husband took up his post as American minister, and here she describes diplomatic life and Belgium as it was before 1914. She ranges over guild-halls and medieval gates, knights and villains of the past, Belgian kings and politics, plural voting, writers, musicians and painters, written with the war’s destruction in view.
A warm, well-informed portrait of a small nation’s culture, written for American readers during the Great War. Download the free EPUB.
