Parley starts on a literary voyage in this book that takes young readers on a fascinating examination of two unique and distant lands—America and Australia. The book is a compilation of engrossing narratives, each of which provides a unique perspective on the history, culture, and natural beauty of these two continents. Young readers are introduced to the indigenous peoples, wildlife, landscapes, and historical events that distinguish both America and Australia through Parley's colorful storytelling. Readers may expect to learn about Native American tribes, early European settlers, the American Revolution, and the continent's natural splendor in the America section.

Samuel Griswold Goodrich (August 19, 1793 – May 9, 1860) was an American author better known by his pen name Peter Parley. Goodrich was the son of a Congregational pastor and was born in Ridgefield, Connecticut.

He worked as a bookseller and publisher in Hartford from 1816 to 1822. From 1823 to 1824, he traveled throughout Europe before relocating to Boston in 1826. He purchased 45 acres (180,000 m2) in adjacent Roxbury in 1833 and built a mansion in what is now Jamaica Plain. There he remained in the publishing business, and from 1828 until 1842 he published The Token, an illustrated annual to which he contributed both prose and lyric.
