In the eyes of many, Switzerland has something in common with Dartmouth College — it is small but there are those who love it. Clearly Sydney Clark feels this way, for the reader of All the Best in Switzerland will find the country's charms extolled again and again. Moreover, we especially liked the way he conveys the true character of the country by mixing its history with the essential travel information needed by today's tourist. Here is a travel writer who is both enthusiastic and accurate.
As recent one-year residents of Lausanne we found ourselves agreeing with his assessment of the hotels, restaurants, stores, and historic sights of this Swiss city which we came to know quite well. In addition, our frequent visits to almost every section of this country permitted us to make one further observation. The author has provided traditional information and insights on the "famous" Swiss tourist attractions such as Zermatt, St. Moritz, Gstaad, the Jungfrau, and Lucerne. But the reader will also find excellent descriptions of some of the less well-known places like Mürren and Steinam-Rhein. Perhaps it is this feature of Allthe Best in Switzerland that sets it off from other travel guides.
