From the wealth of stories in Call of Adventure, you can choose as wide as the world is wide, as deep as time. You can absorb the weariness of a young lad keeping his llama flocks in the Andes or suffer the accusation of witchcraft with sixteen-year-old Kit in Puritan New England.
Adventure beckons from the Baker Street office of Sherlock Holmes; it calls from outer-space; it whips through the sails of a listing ship. Adventure is a stormy sea, a duel to the death, an unsolved mystery. It is courage in Lance of Kanana, cruelty in Black Beauty, kindness in Lassie Come-Home.
Adventure is life--it is facing tasks which seem impossible, conquering fears that halt out progress, and fighting for what we feel is right. In this volume we invite you to visit with adventure, to see it and feel it in many forms--to share the excitement of a battle with nature, to know the meaning of responsibility, friendship, and growing up. Here, then, is your chance to answer the Call of Adventure.
