Summary "Mentone, Cairo, and Corfu" by Constance Fenimore Woolson is a collection of travel sketches written in the late 19th century. The work chronicles the author's experiences and observations as she visits three distinct Mediterranean destinations: Mentone, Cairo, and Corfu, each portrayed vividly through a blend of narrative and reflection. The sketches bring to life the cultures, landscapes, and notable interactions with diverse characters, likely featuring characters like Mrs. Trescott, her daughter Janet, and Professor Mackenzie among others. At the start of the collection, Woolson introduces readers to Mentone, detailing the arrival of a group of travelers, including herself through her character Jane Jefferson. They settle into a hotel in the picturesque town, and the narrative captures their appreciation of the sunny environment, local quirks, and the captivating views of the Mediterranean. The characters engage in lively discussions about the beauty of their surroundings, the importance of the sun, and the fascinating history of the area, all while encountering humorous interactions and insights about each other, setting an inviting tone for the adventures and observations that follow in Cairo and Corfu.
