Books of Travel
It is not important that travel books should be written especially for young readers. Almost all records of travel contain some pages of interest, whatever the remainder may be like. The fact that a book describes wanderings in a far country is enough.
But the books by Commander Robert E. Peary and his wife deserve mention.
Snowland Folk.
The Snow Baby.
Children of the Arctic.
