Summary: "Round the Wonderful World" by G. E. Mitton is an adventurous travel guide written during the late 19th century. This work invites readers to embark on an imaginative journey around the globe, offering vivid descriptions of diverse landscapes and cultures. The narrative aims to take readers away from the familiarity of their surroundings, showcasing the wonders of the world and the remarkable variations found in different lands. The opening of the book introduces a whimsical perspective on travel by comparing human journeys to that of a fly crawling over an enormous orange-shaped world. The narrator prepares to transport the reader on a grand adventure, exploring far-off destinations such as deserts, bustling cities, and volcanic landscapes, all while highlighting the beauty and strangeness of the places they will visit. The initial chapter establishes the theme of exploration and the excitement of discovering other cultures, suggesting that the journey will not only be physical but also enlightening.
