BULSTRODE, BEATRIX (MRS EDWARD MANICO GULL). Tour in Mongolia. il *$5 (8½c) Stokes 915.1
What led this English lady, after an eighteen months’ stay in China, to travel in Mongolia was “the fascination of the unknown, a deep love of the picturesque and inherent desire to revert awhile to the primitive.” Also Mongolia was an opportunity of meeting with medievalism untouched. The trip took place in 1913 while Mongolia was at war with China and the author’s account is particularly instructive in her analysis of Mongol character. An introduction by David Fraser, Times correspondent in Peking, explains the political situation at the time of the tour. The book is indexed and profusely illustrated.
“She can handle a pen to excellent effect.”
