488 pages. Index. "One of the very rare accounts of Korea in the latter part of the nineteenth century. At that time Korea was virtually a forbidden land and had only been open to foreigners for abbout ten years. It was and had been under Chinese influence for centuries. 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. While Isabella was on her journey the Japanese invaded Korea and she had to leave hastily, ending up in China, penniless.... 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
