The Hunniwell Boys in the Gobi Desert - 1930

This rare 1930 printing of The Hunnwell Boys in the Gobi Desert captures the spirit of early twentieth century adventure storytelling, when young readers were drawn to tales of daring travel, discovery, and exploration in faraway places. Written by L. P. Wyman, the story follows the Hunnwell brothers as they venture into the vast landscapes of Central Asia, encountering danger, friendship, and the thrill of the unknown along the way.

This is the only available copy, now thoughtfully handcrafted into a one of a kind journal. Select pages of the original story remain preserved among smooth, acid free writing paper, allowing the sense of classic adventure to live on alongside your own reflections. The boldly illustrated cloth cover retains the character of its age and offers a striking visual reminder of a time when adventure novels fired the imagination of young readers.

This journal makes a wonderful gift for collectors of vintage adventure books, lovers of travel lore, writers, and anyone who feels drawn to stories of exploration and curiosity. It is well suited for journaling, creative writing, sketching, or recording travels near or far.

As with every Red Barn Collections journal, this piece carries the authentic voice of its original printing and the careful craftsmanship that gives previously loved books new life.
