Did You Know ...?
Icelanders are a. well-educated and well-groomed race, with some of the loveliest women in the world; all are seemingly endowed with a grace derived from their aristocratic Viking ancestors. They are easily the best-read people in the' world; the sale of books in Iceland far exceeding, per head of population, that of any other country. One can count on finding a well-stocked library in the most remote farm-house, and the chances are in favour of its being in several languages. English books w,ill be found on every shelf, and rrfost Icelanders either speak or read that language.
