Summary "Peaks of Shala" by Rose Wilder Lane is a travel narrative written in the early 20th century. The book chronicles the author's adventures and observations while exploring the remote mountain regions of northern Albania, particularly among the various tribal communities. Lane paints a vivid picture of the natural beauty, culture, and traditions of the Albanian people, engaging the reader with tales of her experiences and encounters. At the start of the narrative, the author introduces her journey across the Albanian mountains, detailing the landscape and her companions, including an energetic young woman named Frances Hardy and their local guides. The text captures the sense of enchantment and unpredictability that accompanies their expedition into a world steeped in ancient customs and blood feuds. Through Lane's eyes, readers are drawn into the colorful dynamics of the tribes, as well as the harsh realities and enchanting stories that thrive in this little-known land.
