How a Little Girl Went to Africa
By Editor
On our advertising page we give notice of the new book “How a Little Girl Went to Africa.” How this book came to be written is interesting. The editor of a New England paper opened his columns once a week to stories written by children. This little Seventh-day Adventist girl decided to tell about her trip to Africa with her parents, who went as missionaries. So interesting were her articles, that the editor thought that they were worth being paid for, and sent her a check accordingly. He suggested that they be published in a book, and upon their being offered to a large New England publishing firm, they decided to publish them at once, in advance of all the other manuscripts on hand. The story is told by a child, in a child’s language, and is true, and the illustrations are from photographs. It can not fail to interest the children, and many old people have not wished to lay it down until they had read the entire volume. It will create in the children a new interest in foreign lands, and the thousands of miles traveled will give new life to the study of geography.
