Book Description

New York: Frederick A. Stokes Co. ,. Very Good. 1936. Hard Cover. xiv,204 pages, cloth, very good. From an article on the Richard W. Abbe Scholarship (Shasta County, California) by Jenny Abbe Moyer: "Born in 1926 in Paris, France, Richard and his brother and sister, John and Patience Abbe returned to the States in 1936 as child celebrities. They were the youthful authors of a runaway best seller, "Around the World in Eleven Years." A recent history of the era reads, "The press was full of reports of their exploding fame. The book was well reviewed everywhere--even the crotchety Alexander Woollcott called it ŒEnchanting.¹" One news account reported, "In spite of the whirlwind of excitement about their book, the youngsters are not the least carried away with any idea of their own importance." .
