Sinopsis
Excerpt from Explorers of the Dawn
The phrase look into is perhaps appropriate as applied to this book. For it is one of those books where the eye of the attentive reader sees more than a mere sparkling flow of words on a running surface of narrative. Of course this is not one of those books that everybody must read. It is not likely to become fashionable. But it seems to me so truly charming, so felicitous in subtle touches of humour, so tenderly moved with an under-running current of wistfulness, that surely it will find its own lovers; who will be, perhaps, among those who utter the names of Barrie and Kenneth Grahame with a special sound of voice.

Excerpt from Explorers of the Dawn
The publisher has asked me to write a note of introduction to this book. Surely it needs none; but it is a pleasant task to write prefaces for other people's books. When one writes a preface to a book of one's own, one naturally grovels, deprecates, and has no opportunity to call the friendly reader's attention to what the author considers the beauties and significances of the work. How agreeable, then, to be able to do this service for another.
Moreover, one hopes that such a service may not be wholly vain. Every book has its own special audience, for whom - very likely unconsciously - it was written: the group of people, far spread over the curve of earth, who will find in that particular book just the sort of magic and wisdom that they seek. And, as every one who has studied the book business knows, books very often tragically miss just the public that was waiting for them. It is such an obscure and nebulous problem, getting the book into the hands of the people to whom it will appeal.

Paperback. Condición: New. Print on Demand. This book tells the adventures of Angel, Seraph, and John, three energetic boys living in an English cathedral town in the early 1900s. With their imaginations fired by the swashbuckling tales of Captain Pegg, their elderly neighbor, they embark on their own daring adventures. Their world expands beyond the walls of their home when they find a hidden treasure in their own backyard, sending them off on a high-spirited quest to reclaim it. The book captures the boundless imagination of childhood, the thrill of adventure, and the strength of friendship, set against the backdrop of a sleepy town, and the era of a strict governess and boarding schools for boys. The author skillfully conveys the emotional ups and downs of the boys' experiences, reminding the reader of the sheer magic and joyous abandon of growing up. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format.
