Untrodden Peaks and Unfrequented Valleys, by Amelia A.B. Edwards. Part II. Jan 26, 2026

Show notes

Amelia B. Edwards wrote this historical travelogue in in 1873. The book describes her travels through a relatively un-visited area in the South Tyrol district of Italy. The Dolomites are a part of that most famous of mountain chains, the Alps.

In this book, the Writer and her friend and companion, L., travel from Southern Italy, having over-wintered there, to visit the Dolomite district. Her chatty style, dry sense of humor, accuracy of facts, and sympathy for humanity set her works apart. The slice of Victorian British life presented is quite captivating.

The World I Live In, by Helen Keller. Part III. Jan 22, 2026

Show notes

The World I Live In by Helen Keller is a collection of essays that poignantly tells of her impressions of the world, through her sense of touch, smell, her imagination and dreams.

"My hand is to me what your hearing and sight together are to you. In large measure we travel the same highways, read the same books, speak the same language, yet our experiences are different. All my comings and goings turn on the hand as on a pivot. It is the hand that binds me to the world of men and women.

The hand is my feeler with which I reach through isolation and darkness and seize every pleasure, every activity that my fingers encounter. With the dropping of a little word from another's hand into mine, a slight flutter of the fingers, began the intelligence, the joy, the fullness of my life."

- Helen Keller, quoted from her essay, The Seeing Hand.

Popular Tales from the Norse, by Sir George Webbe Dasent. Part XII. Jan 19, 2026

Show notes

The most careless readers can hardly fail to see that many of the Tales in this volume have the same groundwork as those with which they have been familiar from their earliest youth.

They are Nursery Tales, in fact, of the days when there were tales in nurseries--old wives' fables, which have faded away before the light of gas and the power of steam. (Excerpt from Popular Tales from the Norse.)
