Synopsis
This delightful and witty book follows the well-to-do Paragreens, on their first family vacation abroad. Embarking from England to Paris for the Great Exhibition of 1855, they experience a hilarious series of misadventures during their travels. While the family experiences some disappointments, they relish the many unique opportunities to experience French culture. The author uses the Paragreen's holiday to explore broader cultural and social themes, such as French and English rivalry, class differences, and the role of women. The book is a wealth of insights into human nature, social class in mid-Victorian England, and the lively atmosphere of 19th-century Paris.
