| Notes |
"Rusty's travels take him all over the world and every place he visits offers him new and exciting sights, sounds and people. From the day he leaves home until he rejoins his family once more every moment is packed with excitement and adventure. Here are some of the countries he visits: Ceylon, India, Arabia, Egypt, France, Italy, Switzerland, Austria, Belgium, England, Scotland, Wales, America, Canada, Honolulu, Fiji. Seen through Rusty's eyes, the foreign lands that he visits jump into reality, and each presents to him and to the reader its own peculiar charm." (From dust jacket) |

âÂÂThe Little Round Worldâ is the story of a little boy's exciting voyage round the world and of the many strange lands he visits and the new peoples of such different customs that he meets - and gets to know. In fact, Rusty - that is the name of our young voyager - does what every adventuresome boy and girl longs to do. This book, then, is no dull catalogue of geographical facts, but one in which you get to know the kind Egyptian policeman; see the Hanging Gardens of Bombay; make friends with a flower girl in Nice; wander through the ancient streets of Rome; touch the block in the Tower of London where so many lost their heads; see the piled boxes of skyscrapers which is New York, and the rugged grandeur of the Rockies. When you have finished that book you can, as Rusty does so often now that he is back home, close your eyes and live over again the thrills and adventures of journey round âÂÂThe Little Round WorldâÂÂ.
