Baltic Sea Book Recommendations
Books are not only good for entertainment; they are also indispensable when preparing for a holiday. During the trip, they are often taken along to the beach or help make good use of time when, for various reasons, an activity outside the four walls of the holiday accommodation is not possible or not wanted. Of course, books are also welcome in the evenings, especially during the long winter evenings. Even as the trend toward e-books continues to gather pace, printed books will not lose their appeal on holiday.
The Baltic Sea holiday region is the subject of countless books. It would be impossible here to list even a fraction of the topics covered by books about the Baltic Sea, its surrounding countries, port cities or holiday regions. Naturally, the books most closely related to holidays on the Baltic Sea include travel guides, advice for active holidays, information on excursions, hiking trails and cycling routes, tips on water sports or wilderness skills, information about national parks, and simply accounts of people’s experiences on holiday around the Baltic Sea.
A good crime novel should not be missing from a Baltic Sea holiday, either. And if it is set in a Baltic Sea city, so much the better. One example is the crime fiction of the well-known Swedish author Henning Mankell, whose main character, Inspector Wallander, lives in the southern Swedish port city of Ystad .
With our book recommendations for a Baltic Sea holiday, we neither can nor wish to provide anything approaching a comprehensive list; instead, we choose our recommendations very carefully. We are often sent books that we feature here for the benefit of readers and publishers alike. We also welcome recommendations of books that have proved especially helpful in preparing for and enjoying a Baltic Sea holiday.
