About Author

Isabella L. Bird

Isabella Lucy Bishop (née Bird; 15 October 1831 – 7 October 1904) was an English explorer, writer, photographer and naturalist. Alongside fellow Englishwoman Fanny Jane Butler, she founded the John Bishop Memorial Hospital in Srinagar in modern-day Kashmir. She was also the first woman to be elected as a fellow of the Royal Geographical Society.

First sentence

"EIGHTEEN days of unintermitted rolling over ""desolate rainy seas"" brought the ""City of Tokio"" early yesterday morning to Cape King, and by noon we were steaming up the Gulp of Yedo, quite near the shore."...

Description

“So genial is its spirit, so enticing its narrative.”—New Englander and Yale Review (1881). The first recorded account of Japan by a Westerner, this 1878 book captures a lifestyle that has nearly vanished. The author traveled 1,400 miles by horse, ferry, foot, and jinrikisha.
