The foreign travels which gave rise to this volume were of a novel and
perhaps unprecedented kind. Two young American girls started for "the
grand tour" with the father of one of them, and, he being compelled to
return home from London, they were courageous enough to continue their
journeyings alone. They spent two years in travel--going as far north as
the North Cape and south to the Nile, and including in their itinerary
St. Petersburgh and Moscow. Miss Ninde's narrative is written in a fresh
and sprightly but unsensational style, which, with the unusual
experiences portrayed, renders the work quite unlike the ordinary books
of travel.
"In these days when letters and books about travels in Europe have
become generally monotonous, to say the least, it is absolutely
refreshing to get hold of a bright, original book like 'We Two Alone in
Europe.' ... The book is especially interesting for its fresh, bright
observations on manners, customs, and objects of interest as viewed
through these young girls' eyes, and the charming spice of adventure
running through it."

"It is filled with so many interesting glimpses of sights and scenes in
many lands as to render it thoroughly entertaining."
--_Congregationalism Boston._
"As the work of a bright American girl, the book is sure to command wide
attention. The volume is handsomely bound and copiously illustrated with
views drawn, if we mistake not, by the author's own fair hands, so well
do they accord with the vivacious spirit of her narrative."
