In this rhythmic, rhymed tribute to the wonderful world of "geography," Lewis recommends traveling by poem to exotic destinations. Some of the twenty-six poems inform; others honor those explorers who contributed to geographic knowledge. Still others are commentaries on phenomena or nomenclature. The illustrations are witty yet understated in color so that they complement rather than compete with the subject.
