Book journeys through the several countries with eyes and ears wide open, old eyes and young eyes and ears. The books are full of pictures, and fuller of knowledge not only of what is going on but what has gone on ever since book-making began, and fuller yet of brightness and interest. You see the old as old; but you see it; you see where it was and the marks it left. You see the new with eyes made sharper by knowledge of what has gone in the world.
In other words these books amount to something like going through these places with a traveling companion who knows all about them and their histories.
They are written and pictured for boys and girls; but there is nothing to hinder the old folks going along. Will you go?
