The English landscape painter Alfred Heaton Cooper describes the fjord country of western Norway as he sketched it, from the orchards of the Hardanger to the deep walls of the Sogne. Between scenery he records farm life, boat travel, peasant costume and a wedding at Gudvangen where guests drank skaal and danced the halling for days.
A charming Edwardian travel book written to accompany the artist’s colour paintings, for anyone who dreams of the fjords. Download the free EPUB.
