Round the globe through Greater Britain

Set out on a panoramic journey through the English-speaking world beyond Britain, beginning along the St. Lawrence and continuing westward through Quebec, Montreal, Ottawa, Toronto, and the mighty falls of Niagara. The journey then follows the ambitious railway route across Canada, from the Pacific coast and mountain passes to Winnipeg and Montreal, offering glimpses of dramatic landscapes, frontier settlements, forests, rivers, and the people shaping a vast young nation.

From Canada, the voyage travels onward through Fiji, New Zealand, Australia, India, Ceylon, Mauritius, South Africa, and Gibraltar. Each section combines scenery with accessible observations on climate, natural history, local industries, customs, religions, and colonial life—from Fiji’s crafts and traditions to New Zealand’s volcanic lakes, Australia’s distinctive wildlife, India’s sacred rivers and hill forts, and South Africa’s landscapes and communities. Written for curious general readers and younger listeners, this lively geographical tour presents a broad, varied picture of a world linked by language, history, exploration, and empire.
