This series of Little Travel Books for Young People who are of an age
to be interested in the countries of the world and their peoples has
steadily grown on account of its wide popularity. Each book is
written in a simple and very attractive style (avoiding the strings
of numbers, names and places that are the unavoidable features of the
school geography), and thus the child gains valuable instruction and
a vivid interest in countries, great cities, and peoples through
the sheer pleasure of reading and by examining the beautiful
illustrations. The youthful reader becomes absorbed in descriptions of
how children work and play, and in the way of living, in the various
countries of the world.
The volumes are handsomely bound and splendidly illustrated in colour,
and young people may now possess a series as attractive to them as
Black's "Colour Books" are to the older folk.
