Book Overview

""Strange Sights Abroad"" is a travelogue written by Oliver Optic that takes readers on a journey through European waters. The book is written in a narrative style and follows the adventures of a group of American tourists as they explore the cities and landscapes of Europe. Optic's vivid descriptions of the sights, sounds, and people they encounter paint a vivid picture of the continent, from the bustling streets of London to the serene canals of Venice. Along the way, the travelers encounter a variety of strange and unusual sights, from ancient ruins to modern art installations. Through it all, Optic weaves a tale of discovery and adventure that will captivate readers of all ages. Whether you're an armchair traveler or a seasoned globetrotter, ""Strange Sights Abroad"" is a must-read for anyone who loves to explore the world.1893. From the Preface: Strange Sights Abroad is the fourth volume of the All-Over-the-World series; and while it contains a completed story, all the incidents and adventures of the hero and his companions being properly disposed of and finished, and all the characters who have figured on the pages of the book having been suitably rewarded, punished, or reformed, the narrative is still a continuation of the adventures of Louis Belgrave and his faithful ally, Felix McGavonty, who distinguish themselves as on former occasions. The Millionaire at Sixteen has entered upon his seventeenth year; but he has not been led away by any temptation, and resolutely maintains his high character in the presence of evildoers as well as of those who sympathize with him in sustaining a high ideal. Though some of his friends on board of the Guardian-Mother persist in calling him Sir Louis, and in regarding him as a sort of knight-errant, it will be observed that he never plunges into any adventure for its own sake, or for the mere excitement of the affair. A great read for young men from the American Boys series.
