قصة الكتاب :
WITH his faculty for noting the little significant things, as well as the big and striking things, Mr. Rudyard Kipling gives us wonderful pictures of life in America, Canada, and Egypt. Some of the letters are old—they are reprinted from periodical publications—but all are fresh in human interest, because they dwell on big, essential problems. The volume is Kipling at his best, without the “tobacco and blood” in which he often indulges, and with his wealth of illustration and telling incidents of travel. These short chapters give truer impressions of the lands they treat of than all the ponderous volumes of painstaking travellers, collecting facts and arranging statistics.
