Why I Collect the Boy Travellers # Thomas W. Knox’s Boy Travellers books are fiction, but they grew out of the experience of an American journalist who had travelled widely and reported from different parts of the world. That combination is what makes them so interesting to me. The adventures gave young readers a story to follow, while Knox’s observations, maps, illustrations, and descriptions offered a window onto places most of his American audience would never see for themselves.
