New Book Now Ready—How A Little Girl Went to Africa
IN this day of “making of many books,” parents are puzzled to know what is good literature to place before their children. “How a Little Girl Went to Africa” is written by a little Seventh-day Adventist girl—Miss Leona M. Bicknell—who went to Africa with her parents. The volume is written in her own language, and describes in a child’s way the wonders she saw on land and sea. It gives an interesting description of leaving home, boarding, a big steamer in New York, a trip across the great ocean, landing in England, sights seen in London; another ocean voyage and arrival in Africa; strange peoples, flowers, and fruits, up to Zululand, ostrich farms and diamond mines; among the Boers, etc. This little girl evidently had a kodak with her; for she has brought back many original pictures of scenes which she saw along the way—to[o] many to enumerate in this space. These are reproduced in the book, and aid in making it a very pretty, interesting, and instructive volume. Bound in red cloth, printed with decorations of tropical foliage. Price, postpaid, $1.
