CARRYING SIEGFRIED’S BODY.
PREFACE.
This fifth volume of the Zigzag books, in which history
is taught by a supposed tour of interesting places,
might be called a German story-book.
It was the aim of “Zigzag Journeys in Europe” and
“Zigzag Journeys in Classic Lands” to make history
interesting by stories and pictures of places. It was the
purpose of “Zigzag Journeys in the Orient” to explain
the Eastern Question, and of “Zigzag Journeys in the
Occident” to explain Homesteading in the West.The purpose of this volume is the same as in “Europe”
and “Classic Lands.” A light narrative of travel takes
the reader to the places most conspicuously
associated with German history, tradition, literature,
and art, and in a disconnected way gives a view of the
most interesting events of those Northern countries
that once constituted a great part of the empire of
Charlemagne.
It is the aim of these books to stimulate a love of
history, and to suggest the best historical reading. To
this end popular stories and pictures are freely used to
adapt useful information to the tastes of the young.
But in every page, story, and picture, right education
and right influence are kept in view.
In this volume many German legends and fairy stories
have been used, but they are so introduced and
guarded as not to leave a wrong impression upon the
minds of the young and immature.
