Excerpt from The Seven Little Sisters: Who Live on the Round Ball That Floats in the Air Now, if we look on another Side of the ball, we shall see no ponds, but something very dreary. I am afraid you won't like it. A great plain of sand, sand like that on the sea-shore, only here there is no sea, and the sand stretches away farther than you can see on every side; there are no trees, and the sunshine beats down, al most burning whatever is beneath it. Perhaps you think this would be a grand place to build sand-houses. One of the little sisters lives here, and, when you read of her, you will know what She thinks about it. Always the one who has tried it knows best. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
