A Voyage round the World, A book for boys, by W.H.G. Kingston.
________________________________________________________________________
Here is a sort of compendium of all the excitements that befall
Kingston's young heroes. Swimming episodes of various kinds, serpents,
unfriendly savages, and unexpected coincidences, have all been put
together here, to make a well-written book, that you will find quite
amusing and interesting. Recommended.
Makes a good audiobook, too.
