Abstract
Written by Arthur Nelson at a very young age, the "History of the Wourld" is one of the earlier attempts by the Nelson brothers to outline the imaginary world they were creating together in their writings. Some fictional locations that receive more detailed treatment in later works, such as Poplington, Grassington and Big Continent are mentioned here. This early description of Big Continent lacks the New England feel of some later works and is presented here as an equatorial region with orange trees, prickly cactuses, alligators, crocodiles and hippos.
