| Summary | "How the World Travels" by Alice A. Methley is an illustrated book of travel written in the early 20th century. This work provides a fascinating exploration of various modes of transportation throughout history and across different cultures, examining how travel has evolved from ancient times to the modern era. The book likely covers a wide range of conveyances from sailing ships to rickshaws, giving readers insights into the diverse ways people have traversed the globe. Throughout the chapters, Methley takes readers on a journey through "travel in the olden days" to contemporary travel methods, detailing the transport systems of multiple regions including Europe, Asia, Africa, and the Americas. The narrative is complemented by vivid illustrations, helping to illustrate descriptions of various vehicles such as carriages, sledges, palanquins, and even unconventional means like goat-drawn carts. The book not only discusses the mechanics of these conveyances but also provides historical context, cultural significance, and anecdotes that breathe life into the modes of travel, transporting readers to different times and places while reflecting on how travel continues to change.
