The trip was very difficult but so fascinating that, true to character, Isabella adored it. She undertook many arduous journeys by land and river, observed the breathtakingly beautiful countryside, visited the Buddhist monasteries and had many audiences with the Korean king and his soon to be assassinated queen.

Bird won fame in her own time as surely the most remarkable woman traveller of the nineteenth century." - from back cover. Average wear. Unmarked. Binding tight and square. Book
