Roundabout Rambles in Lands of Fact and Fancy — Frank R. Stockton / Frank Richard Stockton

Come along, one and all! We are off on our rambles. We have far to go, and a great many things to see, and it may be that some of you will be very tired before we get through. There will be considerable variety in our rambles. We shall walk about familiar places, and we shall explore streets and houses that have been buried for centuries. We shall go down deep into the earth, and we shall float in a balloon, high up into the air. We shall see many beasts of the forest; some that are bloody and cruel, and others that are gentle and wise. We will also have some adventures, hear some stories, and have a peep at a fairy or two before we are done. . . . .
