For a thousand years, the Scandinavian countries were kingdoms of repression where monarchs played at the game of being European powers, at the expense of their own populations.

These sentiments of enmity have not been fully settled.

In Tourists, the voices of these travellers – puzzled, shocked, delighted and amazed – are brought vividly to life.

I wanted to know where did they go, and what did they do, and what did they like, what did they wish that they had done differently?
