In this anthology, letters addressed to American children and sent from every conceivable part of the world, reflect the similarities and differences among today's youth. Generally amiable in tone, even in areas of anti-American sentiment, a striking factor in these letters is the generally modest living standard (by American standards) in which these children live. An excellent introduction into European, Asiatic, and African cultures, these letters are of immediate interest in that they spontaneously concern themselves with subjects of direct importance to teen-age readers.
