520 _a"Around the World with Josiah Allen's Wife" by Marietta Holley is a humorous travel narrative likely written in the late 19th century. The book follows the character Samantha, the wife of Josiah Allen, as she embarks on a journey abroad with her grandson Tommy, addressing themes of family duty, personal sacrifice, and social observation. Central to the story is Samantha's deep affection for her husband and her struggle to balance her responsibilities as a caregiver with her desire for adventure and new experiences. At the start of the work, Samantha is filled with concern for her grandson Tommy's health, as he is gravely ill and in need of a warm climate for recovery. Despite her reluctance to leave her husband Josiah, who adamantly refuses to accompany them on the journey, Samantha resolves to support her family. The narrative paints a vivid picture of their emotional farewells and the struggles she faces as she prepares to travel, reflecting on her husband’s devotion and her attachment to home. As the journey begins, the reader is introduced to various characters that will accompany Samantha and Tommy, providing a rich backdrop for their international adventure.
