“Off to the Geysers, or, The Young Yachters in Iceland” by C. A. Stephens is an adventurous tale published in 1873. It follows a group of young yachters as they explore the geysers of Iceland, capturing the spirit of youthful exploration and adventure. This is a very action-filled, respectful, wholesome story. It is a true collectors 'find,' and would be great to complete the series.Tweed like cloth with bright graphic cover of boy with rifle by fire on cover including spine.
