| Summary | "Far Off; Or, Asia and Australia Described" by Favell Lee Mortimer is a collection of geographical and cultural descriptions written in the mid-19th century. The work aims to introduce young readers to the rich history and significant events associated with various regions of Asia and Australia, with a specific focus on missionary efforts and the spread of Christianity. At the start of the text, Mortimer presents a vivid illustration and exposition of the Holy Land, detailing various significant locations such as Bethlehem, Jerusalem, and the Dead Sea. She recounts a fictional traveler’s experiences in these places, emphasizing their Biblical significance and the current state of their inhabitants. The narrative provides a blend of religious sentiment and cultural observations, creating a portrayal of both the historical and contemporary situation in these regions while encouraging children to value truth over fiction in their early educational experiences.
