Far away and long ago Young Readers series review
A critical notice of Methuen's Outlines titles on Russia and Mexico for young readers. Betty Ross's Mexico book shines with lively prose and vivid history, while John Lawrence's Russia compactly covers early to imperial periods but struggles to clarify Orthodox evolution and later eras. Strong illustrations and authentic sourcing elevate both volumes despite uneven depth.
