Summary

** "A Boy's Voyage Round the World" by Samuel Smiles is a late 1800s non-fiction tale where the author's son embarks on a life-altering sea journey from England to Australia and back. The story kicks off with the reason for the voyage: the young boy's fragile health, hoping the sea air will bring him back to strength. What follows is a deep experience of life on a ship, with the excitement of setting sail and the grit required to face the harsh weather. He shares his journey, mixing practical ship details with colorful descriptions of the world around him and the people he meets, all seen through the eyes of a curious young adventurer. **
