Présentation de l'éditeur
Excerpt from A Wheel Within a Wheel: How I Learned to Ride the Bicycle, With Some Reflections by the Way
From my earliest recollections, and up to the ripe age of fifty-three, I had been an active and diligent worker in the world. This sounds absurd; but having almost no toys except such as I could manufacture, my first plays were but the outdoor work of active men and women on a small scale.
