A spiritual traveler tours a thousand worlds of the universe, cities on the Moon, a Mars where a trust monopolizes the rain, floating cities, beings who live in fire.

Rev. W. S. Harris's 1905 book is an imaginative, moralizing tour of fantastic inhabited worlds across the cosmos. Wonder-filled, earnest, illustrated period SF. Read it for a vivid turn-of-the-century vision of alien civilizations, each a mirror held up to our own follies.
