Excerpt from The Backwoods of Canada
I Wonder if ever there were a boy who did not wish to travel? I know I did, and used to spend many an hour thinking of all the wonderful things I should see, and of what I would bring home when I returned. Books of travel I devoured greedily - and very good reading for boys, as well as for grown men, I have always thought them. I began with "Robinson Crusoe," like most boys - for who has not read his story? Burckhardt, the traveller, found a young Arab reading a translation of it in the door of his father"s tent in the desert.
