商品描述内容简介William Roger Snow (1834-1907), under the pseudonym Richard Andre, wrote and illustrated many children's books, including this charming tale of two children who dream of traveling around the world in a tiny boat made out of a walnut shell. Little Arthur and Elsie know their geography - in their imaginative travels they voyage from the Arctic snows to Chinese rice paddies, from the Nile to Australia, from Mount Vesuvius to Niagara Falls, and more.
作者简介English artist William Roger Snow (1834-1907) had a distinguished army career of over twenty years, during which he spent time in the Crimea, Hong Kong, Canada, and Ireland. His first published work was "Sketches of Chinese Life & Character," published in 1860. He went on to publish numerous plays and produced many paintings, after which he changed his name twice in an effort to escape scandal and legal action brought about by an adulterous affair. Snow was the author and illustrator of a prolific amount of adult and children's literature, under the alias Clifford Merton and later Richard André. He died at the age of 75, an upstanding and remarried pillar of respectability in his Hertfordshire community.
