Intended for younger readers, this charming collection of notes from foreign travel by an American novelist winningly captures the romantic adventure of roaming the globe and embraces a youthful enthusiasm that armchair travelers of all ages continue to enjoy. Highlights of Ballou's grand tour, first published in 1889, include:
San Francisco's Chinatown . Yokohama . the island of Ceylon
New Zealand hot springs . tea gardens of India . Cairo
a French flower market . the Arctic Circle
and much more.
Prehistoric monuments, exotic fruits, strange wildlife, cannibals, dancing girls, ancient tombs, and sacred pigeons-they're all here.
