Our Hearts were Young and Gay

A sparkling - true - account of a trip to Europe. A mere summary of the adventures of the starry-eyed Emily and the almost equally unworldly Cornelia would convey nothing of the delicious quality of the book and its illustrations. The account of their travels is ridiculous and enchanting. Whether you laugh till you cry because it is all so funny, or cry for the zest and simplicities that may never come your way again, you will almost certainly end up by laughing, because the authors laugh so abandonedly at themselves, and understand nonsense as well as the dignity of youth and sights that can raise the heart. The Ulverscroft Large Print Series offers famous books by well-known writers for those who no longer find it possible to read from a normal print size.
