Summary "A Boy's Voyage Round the World" by Samuel Smiles is a non-fiction travel narrative written in the late 19th century. It recounts the experiences of Smiles' young son during a sea voyage that begins in England and takes him to Australia and back, emphasizing the adventurous spirit of youth along with the educational value of travel. The opening of the narrative establishes the context for the voyage, detailing how the journey was prompted by the young boy's struggle with health issues. Initially sent away on a long sea voyage to recover his health, he becomes immersed in life aboard the ship, capturing both the excitement of setting sail and the challenges of enduring the elements at sea. His observations include a mix of practical details about ship life, along with vivid depictions of the environment and the people he encounters, all while maintaining a youthful and curious perspective that invites readers into the adventure.
