Cruise of the Walnut Shell (Hc)
Andre', Richard / Snow, William
William Roger Snow (1834-1907), under the pseudonym Richard André, wrote and illustrated many children's books, including this charming tale of two children who dream of traveling around the world in a tiny boat made out of a walnut shell. Little Arthur and Elsie know their geography. In their imaginative travels they voyage from the Arctic snows to Chinese rice paddies, from the Nile to Australia, from Mount Vesuvius to Niagara Falls, and more.
