About This Item
London: Penguin, 1986 Book. Near Fine. Trade Paperback. Reprint. The travel biography of Isabella Bird... who spent much of her first forty years of her life as a pious Victorian parson's daughter studying hymns. It was therefore surprising that she then burst out of such homely confinements to become a tireless international traveller, usually alone. Most of her travels were to parts of Asia where European influence was not well established. l347p plates bibliography index.
