This Giddy Globe

"This Giddy Globe" by Oliver Herford

Oliver Herford was an Anglo-American writer, artist, and illustrator known for his pithy bon mots and skewed sense of humor. This book is no different. Written as a humorous non-fiction text, Herford teaches readers about the world's geography and the earth sciences. Starting with the use of globes, he then moves through explaining the equator, climate, and other topics before delving into the countries that make up the world.
