520 _a"Jogging round the world : Riders and drivers, with curious steeds or vehicles, in strange lands and at home" by Edith Dunham is a descriptive travelogue written in the early 20th century. This book takes readers on a global journey through various cultures and modes of transportation, highlighting unique vehicles and the people who ride or drive them. Its engaging narrative style, paired with numerous illustrations, makes it suitable for both young readers and adults seeking to learn more about world travel during that era. The book presents a series of vignettes from different countries, each showcasing a specific mode of transport and the cultural context surrounding it. For instance, it features Eskimo children playing with sleds drawn by dogs, Japanese women riding in rickshaws, and the traditional palanquins used in Korea and India. Each section not only explains the vehicles and their uses but also immerses readers in the local customs, landscapes, and lifestyles. Through colorful illustrations and rich descriptions, readers are invited to explore diverse regions such as the deserts of Egypt, the bustling streets of Shanghai, and the historical ambiance of St. Augustine, Florida, making it a delightful exploration of transportation and culture around the world.
