Description
Isabella Bird began her travels at the age of 40. She travelled to Australia, Hawaii, and the Rockies of Colorado where she rode for weeks, alone among the high peaks. The books she wrote about her American adventures were a sensation in England, and for the rest of her long life Isabella was one of the world's celebrated explorers. She spent most of the next 30 years in the more obscure parts of Asia, visiting Japan and Korea shortly afters they had been opened to Westerners, living among the Tibetans, exploring China and Malaya, Persia, and Kurdistan where few westerners-let alone a lady writer-had ever been. At the age of 70, Isabella went to Morocco, visiting the fierce warrior tribes of the Atlas Mountains and was royally entertained by the Sultan.
