"Zigzag Journeys in Europe: Vacation Rambles in Historic Lands" by Hezekiah Butterworth is a travel narrative written in the late 19th century. The book is aimed primarily at young readers and explores historical sites in England and France through the eyes of a group of schoolboys traveling with their teacher during their vacation. The narrative intertwines factual history with folklore and personal experiences to create an engaging educational journey. The opening of the story introduces the boys, who are eager for adventure as school ends for spring vacation. They express a desire to travel, prompting their beloved teacher, Master Lewis, to consider leading a vacation tour to Europe. The boys enthusiastically share their ideas for where to visit, and through their interactions, the characters begin to emerge—Frank Gray as the sensible leader, Tommy Toby as the comedic and slightly less studious boy, and the Wynn brothers as sympathetic and artistic. This charming setup establishes a focus on friendships and their educational pursuits, setting the stage for their exciting and character-building adventures across Europe.
