About the work

The LibriVox catalogue summary, preserved with the recording, reads:

LibriVox recording of Dave Dashaway Around the World by Roy Rockwood. Read in English by Scott Danneker Never was there a more clever young aviator than Dave Dashaway, and all up-to-date lads will wish to make his acquaintance. Weldon J. Cobb was a staff writer for the Stratemeyer Syndicate, a book packaging company that specialized in juvenile fiction. Under the pseudonym Roy Rockwood, Cobb authored the Dave Dashaway series of books that appeared between the years 1913 and 1915. In this fourth volume of the series, Dave Dashaway Around the World; Or, A Young Yankee Aviator Among Many Nations, Cobb enthralls his audience with the absorbing tale of a great air flight around the world, of adventures in Alaska, Siberia and elsewhere. A nostalgic picture of how the imaginations of children in the early twentieth century anticipated the accomplishments of the future. (Summary from the 1913 book jacket and Scott Danneker)
