Across India

Beschreibung

A fascinating adventure tale with exciting non-stop action for both young teens and adults alike. Across India is the first volume of the third series of the "All-Over-the-World Library," in which the voyage of the Guardian-Mother is continued from Aden, where some important changes were made in the current of events, including the disposal of the little steamer Maud, which figured to a considerable extent in the later volumes of the library.

Autor

William Taylor Adams, better known by his pseudonym Oliver Optic, was an American author, educator, and politician. Born on July 30, 1822, in Medway, Massachusetts, Adams made significant contributions to children's literature, particularly with his popular series of novels under the pen name Oliver Optic. His works, including All Aboard (1855) and The Casket of Diamonds (1892), often focused on themes of adventure, moral lessons, and the development of character, making them popular among young readers during the 19th century. In addition to his writing career, Adams was an active member of the Massachusetts House of Representatives, serving from 1869 to 1870. His background in education and his interest in promoting moral and intellectual development in young people influenced much of his writing, which emphasized discipline, perseverance, and the importance of education. Adams continued to write prolifically throughout his life, contributing works such as Shamrock and Thistle and Our Standard-Bearer that explored themes of loyalty and patriotism. He passed away on March 27, 1897.
