PREFACE

This is a wonderful old world of ours, the one we live in. It is

wonderful to think how it has grown, day by day, year by year,

century by century, and by each step of Time just a little better worth

living in. It is like a beautiful fairy story, with the great advantage of

being true.

Of course none of us were here when the world began, so we did not

see the beginning of it, but some of us have worked the problem

backward through the years to find out what the beginning was like;

and starting from a good dry spot, if you follow the wanderings of

my Iron Star, I believe you will at no time be very far from the truth

of the way in which girls and boys and their elders lived in the days

now long ago. Will you make the journey with me?
