A LIBRARY OF TRAVEL
The Little Journeys Series
| For Grades 5–8 | Nineteen uniform volumes |
These charming books of reliable, up–to–date information, are an acknowledged superior series of geographical readers. They furnish a unique and vivid portrayal of each country in discriminating and attractive language well within the range and comprehension of children of the intermediate and upper grades.
We learn of the climate and size of countries visited in comparison with that of our own; of the habits, customs and conditions of the people as seen in their homes and daily occupations; their dress, manner of living, their personal appearance and manners; the scenery and natural features of the country; its commerce and industries, etc. And the descriptions are interspersed with historic and literary allusions that add to the interest. National songs (words and music) and vocabularies of proper and typical names are also given. The scores of handsome pictures help to make the reading–matter more effective.
