Özet:
One of the most influential Victorian-era publications was a periodical called Boy's Own, which was geared toward preteens and teens. The publication printed information, activities, and how-tos geared to instill good health and a can-do attitude in Great Britain's young men. The volume Born to Wander collects frequent contributor Gordon Stables' writings on travel and outdoor adventures.
