Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Dad´s Letters on a World Journey I returned last summer from a nine months´ trip around the world, including a full five months´ stay in India. I had notes and part manuscript ready for a much needed missionary volume on India. This is not that volume, its preparation has been deferred by the removal of office and home from Cincinnati to St. Louis. In the meantime some of my friends who had read parts of my travel letters to my children thought them, although not written for publication, of sufficient general interest to be published. Others of my friends doubted the wisdom of such a volume on the ground that it would not be primarily a missionary volume. Like the school teacher who was prepared to teach that the world was either flat or round as the case required, I agree with both views. It is true that this can scarcely be considered a missionary volume at all. But they are the real letters of a "Dad" who was trying to write the things of interest from week to week to a wide awake bunch of growing youngsters, who according to their mother devoured them eagerly, and whose interest in the strange peoples of the world was not lessened, because there was the touch of adventure and the thrill of the jungle mixed in. If they are a fair sample of the average family, then this little volume may find a welcome around many a fireside. If it does not, this is my apology. If it does, this is also my apology for not releasing it sooner. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
