"The Travellers: A Tale, Designed for Young People" by Catharine Maria Sedgwick is a novel written in the early 19th century. This engaging story centers around the Sackville family, particularly the two children, Edward and Julia, who embark on a journey to explore various notable sites in America, including Niagara Falls, while grappling with the challenges and delights of country life compared to the city. The narrative aims to impart moral lessons and virtues suitable for young readers, making it both entertaining and educational. At the start of the novel, the Sackville family is preparing for a transition from city life to the countryside, which sparks mixed feelings in the children. Through a lively conversation with their mother, their concerns about losing social pleasures in the city are addressed, and the realization of the joys found in nature begins to unfold. They express a desire to retain their favorite pastimes, such as dancing, while gradually warming up to the idea of exploring new interests in the countryside. As they embark on their travels, the story introduces various characters and moral situations, foreshadowing adventures that promise to further develop Edward and Julia's understanding of virtue and benevolence amidst their explorations.
