Isabella Bird was one of the greatest travelers and travel writers of all time, and this is her last major book, a sympathetic look at inland China and beyond into Tibet at the end of the 19th century. In describing the journey, Isabella provides a rich mix of observations and describes two occasions when she is almost killed by anti-foreign mobs. It many ways, Isabella created the model for travel writing today, and this one of her greatest works.
One of the most formidable, intelligent and intrepid human beings I have ever come across. Isabella's account of her trip through China is a classic of travel writing.A" -Graham Earnshaw, author, The Great Walk of China
