About this product

Product Information

In June 1863 an English lady set off by train on the trip of a lifetime: Thomas Cook's first Conducted Tour of Switzerland. A century and a half later, travel writer Diccon Bewes, author of the bestselling Swiss Watching, decided to go where she went and see what she saw. Guided by her diary, he followed the same route to discover how much had changed and how much hadn't. She went in search of adventure, he went in search of her, and found far more than he expected. Slow Train to Switzerland is the captivating account of two trips through the Alps: hers glimpsing the future of travel, his revisiting its past. Together they make a journey to remember. This is a tale of trains and tourists, of the British and the Swiss, of a Victorian traveller and a modern-day Englishman abroad. It is the story of a tour that changed both Switzerland and the world of travel forever.

A traveller's journey to the Alps - a vivid journey following in the footsteps of Miss Jemima Morrell and Thomas Cook.
A great book, written in a style that draws one along. The author's travels to the Alps follows the same route as taken by the first tour of Thomas Cook. Miss Jemima Morrell, one of the people on Thomas Cook's excursion, wrote a journal which was discovered almost a century later by her relatives. Diccon Bewes refers frequently to her journal and it all makes for a fascinating read. He travels with his mother and his descriptions of the various places, including cities and towns on the route, are vivid. He brings the past to life and his writing has a humour to it that I found very engaging. I would recommend this book. It is informative and extremely well written.A great book, written in a style that draws one along. The author's travels to the Alps follows the same route as taken by the first tour of Thomas Cook.
