Summary "The Boy Travellers in the Far East [Part First]" by Thomas Wallace Knox is a narrative travelogue written in the late 19th century. The book recounts the adventures of two young boys, Frank and Fred, as they embark on a journey to Japan and China, providing readers with vivid insights into the cultures and sights of the Far East during a time of significant Western interest in those regions. At the start of the narrative, we are introduced to Frank, who is elated to receive permission from his father to accompany Doctor Bronson and his cousin Fred on their trip to Japan. We see the excitement in Frank's family about the journey, highlighting the bond between siblings and the anticipation of adventure. The opening portions set the stage for the boys' travels, touching on significant themes of exploration, learning, and cultural exchange, as well as the familial connections and anxieties surrounding their departure. Frank's lively interactions with his family and the preparations for the voyage effectively introduce the spirit of adventure that permeates the book. (This is an automatically generated summary.)
