Excerpt from The Ober-Ammergau Passion Play: Giving the Origin of the Play, and History of the Village and People, a Full Description of the Scenes and Tableaux of the Seventeen Acts of the Drama, and the Songs of the Chorus, in German and EnglishI'would advise the readers of this book, however, not to delay the journey to Ammergau until the Saturday before the performance, and not to leave the village until the next day, or even the day after. A few days' sojourn in the village will prove as pleasant as it is recuperative. The people of Ammergau give a simple welcome to their visitors the houses and beds are thoroughly clean, and the mountains all about are ever inviting the visitor to excursions. The traveller who does the Passion Play in a hurry gets but little enjoy ment out of his visit to Ammergau. To those who desire to become acquainted with the every-day life of thepeople, and to take away with them a delightful record of a residence in the village, I would recommend Mrs. Greatorex'sbook entitled The Homes of ober-ammergau, with etchings of the dwelling-places of the principal actors of the Passion Play.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
