Korea and her Neighbours : A Narrative of Travel, with an Account of the Recent Vicissitudes and Present Position of the Country

Omtale

Isabella Bird (Mrs Bishop, 1831–1904) wrote best-selling travel books on America, Hawaii, the Far East and Persia. This two-volume work, published in 1898, arose from Bird's travels in Korea and China between 1894 and 1897. She provides vivid descriptions of the Korean people, their way of life and customs.
