Excerpt from The Spell of Switzerland The present book is cast in the guise of fic tion. The vague and flitting forms of my niece and her three children are wholly figments of the imagination. No such person as Will Allerton enters my doorway. The Moto, which does such magical service in transporting Emile and his admirers from place to place is as unreal as Solomon's Carpet.
