Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Smiling Round the World When I was a small boy, the world, if I stopped to think about it, seemed not only as big as I could see from sky-line to sky-line, but it went off into still further space - stretching away and away into unfathomable distance, the thought of which made my breath come and go, and little shivers run up and down my back. Then I got scared, and concluded it was about time to go and tease the cat, or put snuff on the stove, or indulge in some other of the amenities by which boys sweeten existence for their elders. As I got bigger, the world got smaller, but not in proper ratio. I didn´t get big enough, and the world still stretched from horizon to horizon. I bridged part of the distance - at times - but always came back to the starting-point with the feeling that the job was incomplete. So, one fine day, I made up my mind that I must see what lay beyond those baffling horizons; and the only way to get ´round them both was to go in a circle. Hence this trip - of many moons and many miles. Hence this book - of many jests and many smiles; offered as something better than a mere bagatelle of humor; perhaps a solace, a compensation - who can tell?
