Abstract
One of the longer works by the Nelson brothers, "The Gazetter of the World" is formatted like real reference works the boys would have seen. With a cover page, a subject index, a preface by the editor and appendixes for maps and statistics, the volume gives ample evidence of the Nelson brothers' careful attention to the details of their imaginary world. Included are detailed entries describing the places that feature prominently in their fictional works. The text is enhanced by finely done ink drawings which, as the unnamed editor explains in the preface, "help to show to the readers the lands through which they pass in their reading."
