About This Book

Two siblings anticipate and recollect imaginative journeys before setting off on an actual holiday with relatives, experiencing various travel modes: overnight train travel and dining in the dining car, yachting on a mountain lake, carriage and motor excursions, bicycling and horseback rides, and seaside pastimes such as sandcastles and shell-collecting; a shipboard tour prompts reflections on sailors, storms, and the desire to circumnavigate the globe, while adults guide and amuse them, and the children conclude that travel brings enjoyment and practical learning.
