The Wonderful Electric Elephant

Written in 1903 by Frances T. Montgomery, The Wonderful Electric Elephant is children’s story in which Harold and Ione take a trip around the world in a life-sized mechanical elephant. The tale describes their magnificent adventure and journey. Interestingly for this site though, the book was illustrated by Cassius Coolidge, the painter of the famous dog playing poker paintings.
