Here Mr. Howells reintroduces the charming couple whose honeymoon was described in one of the author's most delightful books, "Their Silver Wedding Journey." Through Hamburg, Karlsbad, Nuremberg, Weimar, Berlin, Frankfort and Dusseldorf and along the banks of the Rhine the gifted literary necromancer conducts the reader through the eyes of his pleasant middle-aged travelers as they wend their leisurely way through parts of Europe as it was a good many years before the First World War.
