This is a narrative of travels in Japan undertaken in 1878 by someone who is probably the most famous female traveller and writer of the Victorian era. Travelling alone as a woman, she was the first to enter parts of Japan which had had no cultural contact whatsoever with a European, let alone a woman on her own. The letters which make up this work give a real picture of Japan and Japanese life at the time.Bird, Isabella Lucy is the author of 'Unbeaten Tracks in Japan ' with ISBN 9780710308849 and ISBN 0710308841.
