An Oberland Châlet by Edith Elmer Wood
"An Oberland Châlet" by Edith Elmer Wood is a travel memoir written in the early 20th century. This narrative recounts the author's experiences and impressions of spending a summer in Switzerland, focusing on their time in the Châlet Edelweiss, a mountain lodge near Grindelwald. The book likely revolves around themes of adventure, nature, and family dynamics as they navigate their new environment among the majestic Alps. The beginning of "An Oberland Châlet"
introduces the reader to the author's family, who relocate from Nice to the Châlet Edelweiss in search of a summer in the mountains. The opening describes their initial challenges and the dreary arrival on a rainy day, creating a contrast between their expectations and the reality of their new home. Through detailed observations, we learn about their surroundings, the local Swiss culture, and the characters within the family unit, establishing a warm, humorous tone. As they settle in, the family begins to adapt to life in the mountains, hinting at the adventures and experiences that await throughout the summer. (This is an automatically generated summary.)
