E. Brown, and David Ker is a collection of travel narratives written in the late 19th century. The book features serialized tales and anecdotes drawn from various global locales, showcasing experiences and interactions through the eyes of its narrators. The stories present a mix of adventure, cultural reflections, and whimsical encounters, as they unfold in diverse settings across the world. The opening of this work introduces us to a young boy named Fred Martin, living in Smyrna, who is thrilled by the arrival of General Grant during a tour through the Mediterranean. Fred possesses an Arabian pony, gifted to him by his father, and harbors dreams of adventure as he immerses himself in tales of history and explorations. As he prepares for an excursion to Ephesus alongside General Grant, the narrative highlights Fred's youthful enthusiasm and his encounters with local culture, setting the stage for both adventure and a rich tapestry of historical references woven into the fabric of the stories that follow.
