Jakob Kirchmayr.
Mole tunnels around the world, coming up to view the North Pole, the desert, the mountains, and the jungle. As he heads home, he wakes up and realizes it was all a dream; he's had a fever, and his friends have been taking care of him. The paintings of the various locations and their inhabitants are enjoyable; the story, however, seems artificial.
