Excerpt from The Book of Wonder: A Chronicle of Little Adventures, at the Edge of the World
My thanks are due to the Editor of The Sketch for permission to reprint here twelve of these tales, which as "Episodes from The Book of Wonder" were printed in his columns. Many were abbreviated to suit the exigencies of the Paper and are here given in full.
I again offer my thanks to the Editor of The Saturday Review for permission to reprint tales, the two last in the book.
