Synopsis

Excerpt from Our Young Folks Abroad: The Adventures of Four American Boys and Girls in a Journey Through Europe to Constantinople Although many books of travel have appeared in past years, it has seemed to the author and the publishers of this volume that there is room for one which shall bring up before the young readers of this country the principal places and scenes of the most charming portions of the Old World, together with such incidents of their history and romance as will interest without fatiguing. The plan adopted has some elements of novelty. An American gentleman and his wife sail for Europe, taking with them their son and daughter, and their nephew and niece. They travel through portions of England, France, Belgium, Germany, Switzerland, and Italy, until they reach Genoa. There they engage a swift-sailing yacht, and make a pleasant summer cruise in the Mediterranean, visiting Mentone, Monaco, Nice, Leghorn, Florence, Pisa, Rome, Naples, Palermo, and other points in Sicily, Athens, and Constantinople, where the voyage is brought to an end. The narrative consists of a recital of their adventures, the wonderful things they saw, and the impressions of the younger portion of the party. The author has not relied solely upon his imagination in the treatment of his subject, for while the names and characters of the travellers are fictitious, he has drawn freely upon his own experience during several visits to Europe. His aim, throughout, has been to instruct, as well as to amuse. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
