About this book
An evening by the fire prompts George Wilton to ask for the return of his family's geography meetings. Each participant must bring information to share, and his father offers the use of his library while encouraging the children to investigate for themselves. David Osborne's geography book for young readers turns the study of seas and oceans into exchanges between the Wiltons and their companions. The opening gives these conversations a Christian purpose and makes preparation part of the children's education.
The contents range across the Mediterranean, Baltic and other waters, pairing descriptions of places with accounts of lighthouses, winds, fishing and ships. In the middle passage, Emma asks where whale oil comes from, while a discussion of flying fish considers the creatures that pursue them. A story about a vessel caught in northern ice then changes the mood. The book offers readers a view of geography teaching through family conversation, natural history and maritime stories.
