| Summary | "What We Saw at Madame World's Fair" by Elizabeth Gordon is a children's book written in the early 20th century. The book is structured as a series of letters from two twins, Jane and Ellen, who recount their experiences at the Panama-Pacific International Exposition. The narrative captures their wonder and excitement as they explore the various pavilions and exhibits, each representing different cultures and industries from around the world, celebrating the completion of the Panama Canal. In their letters to their cousins at home, Jane and Ellen describe vividly their adventures in the fairgrounds, including visits to the Palace of Varied Industries, the Palace of Fine Arts, and numerous cultural pavilions. They marvel at the magnificent Tower of Jewels, experience the joy of music in Festival Hall, and learn about various global contributions through displays of art, machinery, and agriculture. The letters convey not only the beauty and grandeur of the fair but also the lessons and friendships fostered during their journey. Through their innocent perspectives, the twins illustrate the importance of cultural understanding and celebration with a sense of adventure and youthful curiosity that is both engaging and educational.
