This little-known gem by the doyenne of women travellers in the Far
East describes a journey on horseback through the Himalayas and
into Tibet, where she spent four months. Taking to the Tibetans
whom she found '"the pleasantest of people," Bird's is a delightful
account of a land of beauty and mystery, encircled by high
mountains of vermilion and purple. Among the most striking passages
are those that describe the religion of Tibet, which permeated the
very atmosphere with a singular sense of the strange and
otherworldly. Bird visited palaces, temples and monasteries and her
descriptions of the ceremonies, decorations, costumes, and music
capture a world that is now lost to us.
