Sitwell leads us out of museums and away from the great cities, where tourist, and their guidebooks, usually remain cloistered. By traveling outside the usual, Sitwell has discovered a new and beautiful Holland in which 18th century architecture, strange villages and costumes of Friesland, and undiscovered artists. Sitwell’s account of the Netherlands awakens anew our curiosity in this well trod country. Incl. many b/w and colour plates, pull out map.
