SWEDEN.—The highly-popular “Young Travellers” series introduces young people to other lands through the accounts of young visitors. In the latest book in the series, the twins, Tony and Helen, visit Sweden, where they encounter friends keen on ski-ing, sledging, skating, and sailing. They see Midsummer Eve dancing at a place where it did not get dark, and take part in Swedish Christmas customs. They see something of the industries of the country, including the complex of industries built on Sweden’s timber riches. These pictures from the book show one of the wooden trough-shaped chutes down which the lumbermen send great logs to the river, and the spectacle of countless tree trunks floating down to the coast. “The Young Traveller in Sweden,” which carries a glossary and a pronouncing list, is published by Phoenix.
