Highroads of Geography
Introductory Book: Round the World with Father
Produced by Julie Barkley, Susan Woodring and PG Distributed Proofreaders
"Highroads of Geography" by Anonymous is an educational book designed for children, likely written in the early 20th century. The book is structured as a travel narrative where a father recounts his global adventures through a series of letters to his children. It aims to introduce young readers to various countries, cultures, and geography, fostering curiosity about the world beyond their own environment. The opening of the book establishes an emotional context as the father bids goodbye to his children before embarking on a journey around the world. The children, particularly Tom, show a mixture of sadness and excitement, promising to stay cheerful for their mother's sake and expressing their eagerness to receive letters detailing their father's adventures. The letters he writes cover numerous destinations starting from France, describing the landscapes, customs, and people he encounters along the way, which sets the stage for an educational exploration of geography and international cultures.
