Round About the Carpathians by Andrew F. Crosse

An engaging and vivid travel narrative through one of Europe’s most mysterious and untamed regions.

In Round About the Carpathians, Andrew F. Crosse recounts his journey through the rugged landscapes and remote villages of the Carpathian Mountains during the 19th century. Blending keen observation, dry wit, and a spirit of adventure, Crosse introduces readers to the diverse cultures, customs, and characters he encounters in Hungary, Transylvania, and surrounding regions.

Part travelogue, part social commentary, the book offers a rare glimpse into a corner of Europe little known to English-speaking readers at the time. With descriptive flair and a touch of humor, Crosse captures the beauty and complexity of a land straddling East and West.

A must-read for fans of historical travel writing, European history, and cultural exploration.
