About This Book

A lively children's travel collection introduces readers to modes of transport and everyday scenes from many lands, pairing short descriptive sketches with stereograph-based illustrations. Each vignette focuses on a vehicle or local practice—sledges and winter dwellings in Arctic regions, rickshaws and mountain chairs in Japan, palanquins and unique conveyances in Korea, elephants, bullock carts and camel wagons in South Asia, as well as carriages, troikas, dog-teams, and ox-carts encountered in Europe, Africa, the Americas and the Middle East. Alongside practical detail about construction and use, the pieces offer cultural notes on local customs, landscapes, and landmarks intended to engage young readers' curiosity.
