Author biography:

 Isabella Lucy Bird (1831 - 1904) was a keen horsewoman and explorer. Daughter of a British priest, she fled England at an early age to North America, where she began to write.

Despite constant ill health, she later travelled widely in Australia, the Pacific, and Asia, occasionally dabbling in espionage and diplomatic intrigues. Her travelogues are filled with a sense of wonder and adventure.
