The Spell of Switzerland"The Spell of Switzerland" by Nathan Haskell Dole is cast in the guise of fiction and reads like a fairy tale. However, the majesty and magic described in its pages are very real. The spell of Switzerland can be best expressed not in the limited observations of a single person, but rather by a consensus of descriptions that will make you fall in love with this far-off land. |
