The young travellers of the All-Over-the-World Library sail up the Sarawak River in Borneo, learn about the island and its peoples, and try a speculation in crocodiles before cruising on through tropical ports. As in the rest of the series, Optic mixes boyish adventure with geography and history lessons delivered by the grown-ups aboard.
Travel adventure for boys of the 1890s, whose views of other peoples are those of its day. Download the free EPUB.
