About this book

A bored count and his confident friend decide that seeing the world will require more than looking out of a window. Baron Stilkin urges an immediate departure, while Count Funnibos worries over neckties, slippers and the practical business of getting round the globe. Their preparations include a proposal to share a pair of seven-league boots, one boot apiece, and a visit to a busy quay in search of a ship.

William Henry Giles Kingston builds this children's adventure around the pair's conversation: literal answers, grand claims and plans that produce fresh difficulties. A later scene finds the Count wandering beside a canal before an emotional reunion with the Baron, followed by an argument over supper and missing luggage.
