The Boy Travellers in the Russian Empire

Two American boys cross Russia from Petersburg to Moscow, down the Volga, into Siberia and back through the Caucasus, and everything is explained on the way. Knox had actually made this journey as a correspondent and knew the road. The book is a picture of the Russian empire thirty years before it ended, drawn for children by a good reporter. Its 325 original illustrations have been carefully restored and coloured for this edition.
