A children's book from 1902 describing the people and culture of Arabia. The book is written from the perspective of a Christian missionary who encourages children to spread the word of Jesus. From the preface: "This is a book of pictures and stories for big children and small grown-up folks; for all who love Sinbad the sailor and his strange country. It is a topsy-turvy book; there is no order about the chapters; and you can begin to read it anywhere. It is intended to give a bird's-eye view to those who cannot take birds' wings. The stories are not as good as those of the Arabian Nights but the morals are better- and so are the pictures. Moreover the stories are true. You must not skip any of the chapters or the pictures but you may the preface, if you like."
