  Selim and Thomasina are very put out that they must stay in London during the summer holidays, instead of going to the seaside, just because their aunt and uncle are coming to stay.  (They're not even the nice kind of aunt and uncle!) The hot summer becomes more bearable when an India-rubber ball takes them to Whereyouwantogoto, a magical seaside place where there are no grown-ups around to tell children what to do.  The only condition for staying in this dreamland is that the children must continue to be good, but being good is easy when you're happy… or is it?    Whereyouwantogoto was first published in Nine Unlikely Tales, 1901.

  IS THERE A PEOPLE?: Of all the great personifications that have dominated the mind of man, the greatest, the most marvellous, the most impossible and the most incredible, is surely the People, that impalpable monster to which the world has consecrated its political institutions for the last hundred years.

  Sailors' Yarns (Unabridged)

  Pierre Loti

  Pierre Loti born to a Protestant family, Loti's education began in his birthplace, Rochefort, Charente-Maritime. At age 17 he entered the naval school in Brest and studied at Le Borda. He gradually rose in his profession, attaining the rank of captain in 1906. In January 1910 he went on the reserve list. He was in the habit of claiming that he never read books, saying to the Académie française on the day of his introduction (7 April 1892), "Loti ne sait pas lire" ("Loti doesn't know how to read"), but testimony from friends proves otherwise, as does his library, much of which is preserved in his house in Rochefort. In 1876 fellow naval officers persuaded him to turn into a novel passages in his diary dealing with some curious experiences in Istanbul. The result was the anonymously published Aziyadé (1879), part romance, part autobiography, like the work of his admirer, Marcel Proust, after him.
  SAILORS' YARNS: Within the tropics, on a wondrous evening when the Southern trades were blowing with their balmiest softness, the corporeal portion of his being tired with a healthy muscular fatigue, gently lulled by the slumberous rhythmic motion of the ship.
