Addressed to young readers, this travel book sets off eastward around the globe: fiery mountains, the Nile and Abu Simbel, Jerusalem, Ceylon’s ruined cities, Delhi’s bazaars, Burma’s pagodas, Sumatra’s pile villages, a Japanese inn, and home across America to Niagara. Archibald Forrest’s colour plates accompany the journey.
