Descriptive note in Annual, 1906.
“It deals with facts as well as feelings, but he wrote from the heart, and every word shows it. He caught and expressed something of the spirit of a light-hearted city whose charm even the most casual visitor never failed to feel.”

A good deal of geography is entertainingly taught here. Robinson Crusoe’s island as it is to-day is sure to interest boys to whom it has been bequeathed as a “playground for the imagination.” Then there are the Philippines, the Hawaiian islands, the Cannibal islands, Madeira and Samoa, and interesting experiences that fall to the lot of the story-teller while sojourning in them.
