About this book
Twelve chapters introduce young readers to explorers' own accounts, starting with Marco Polo and Sir John Mandeville and moving on to Hernando Cortes's letters, the Jesuit Relations, Humboldt's travels, and Siberia and Kamchatka. Edward Everett Hale frames the talks as Saturday afternoons at the Jamaica Plain house of a Colonel Ingham near Boston, where children ask questions about what they have been reading. His stated aim is to leave the reader wanting the originals. This revised, illustrated edition dates from 1905.
