Summary "Round the Wonderful World" by G. E. Mitton is an adventurous travel guide written during the late 19th century.

The opening of the book introduces a whimsical perspective on travel by comparing human journeys to that of a fly crawling over an enormous orange-shaped world. The narrator prepares to transport the reader on a grand adventure, exploring far-off destinations such as deserts, bustling cities, and volcanic landscapes, all while highlighting the beauty and strangeness of the places they will visit. The initial chapter establishes the theme of exploration and the excitement of discovering other cultures, suggesting that the journey will not only be physical but also enlightening.
