Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Zigzag Journeys on the Mediterranean The purpose of this book is to explain the Consular Service of the United States, and to relate those curious stories which are often told in the Consulates of the East and which resemble the "Thousand and One Nights," or the "Arabian Nights´ Entertainments." The Consulates of the East sometimes become famous story-telling places in which caravan tales, sea tales, and travellers´ tales are told in an original way; and it is with this peculiar lore that this, the fifteenth volume of the "Zigzag Series," seeks to interest the reader. Many of the tales of Consulates are geographically and historically instructive, and some of them have the peculiar flavor of old Oriental traditions. The pet animals and birds of Consulates are also interesting topics, and are introduced in these Consular museums. The Zigzag books or annuals, like many magazines with a definite educational purpose, make use of interpolated stories to illustrate and to give interest to their pages. Most of these stories have been written by the author, but helps from other pens have sometimes been sought.
