TÉoday travel to Sweden, Nor- wvay, Denmark and Finland is prob- ably heavier than ever before. In "'Scandinavia Beckons" (D. Appeton- Century, $4.00) the Oakleys have pre- pared flotonly a charmitig guide to the high spots of Scandinavian travel, but, a penetrating appreciation of Scandinavian life as well.
