Summary: "Peeps at Many Lands: Belgium" by George W. T. Omond is a travelogue written in the early 20th century. The book offers an exploration of Belgium, providing insights into its geography, culture, and customs. Through vivid descriptions and delightful anecdotes, Omond paints a rich portrait of life in Belgium, from its picturesque coasts to its charming towns, including Bruges, Ghent, and Brussels. The opening of the travelogue introduces readers to the Belgian coastline, focusing on the sandy dunes and the vibrant summer life of beachgoers from various nations. Omond describes the peaceful atmosphere in the summer when families gather to enjoy the beach, build sandcastles, and partake in leisurely activities, contrasting this with the harsh winter conditions. The author elaborates on the construction of sea defences, known as "digues de mer", and how they protect the towns from the encroaching sea. This sets the tone for a broader exploration of Belgian life, leading the reader through rural and urban settings as he shares observations about the local people, their customs, and the unique charm of different regions within Belgium.
