Described by The Morning Post as exhibiting 'facilities of
observation never before possessed by a European lady', Anne
Katharine Elwood was the ideal narrator for an exotic and exciting
travel journal. The first woman to travel overland to India, she
acquired a reputation as a pioneer even before her diary was
published. When it first appeared in 1830 this work attracted much
praise from critics and the general public alike. Elwood's account
introduces readers to locations, cultures and sights as diverse as
the duomo of Turin, a picnic at the Pyramids, and the 'the private
lives of Mahometan and Hindoo Ladies'. It was recommended by one
critic as 'the most amusing book of travels we have read for a long
time'. Volume 1 takes readers from England to Bombay via France,
Italy, Malta and Egypt. For more information on this author, see
