Knox (183596). The series, published during the golden age of American childrens literature was very successful when published and remained popular among juvenile readers until the early twentieth century. Written in the rollicking style of adventure stories, the books follow two youths on journeys to Asia, Middle East, and Africa. The author strived to give his readers accurate and fascinating information. He made us ofand refers tothe finest research materials on the history and culture of foreign countries. With its many vivid illustrations (some in colour), the series gave a strong impression on his American young readers of the exotic Far East. This reprint collection is a set of excellent cultural and historical documents about how children of nineteenth-century America imagined foreign lands. For those working in contemporary Cultural Studies, this series offers many suggestions for further research and provides lively working materials for students of the period.
