Description

The Golden Chersonese is a travel book written by Isabella Bird, the greatest travel writer of the 19th century. It recounts her travels in 1883 through southern China and into the interior of the Malay Peninsula-which in the age of Ancient Greece and Rome was known as the Golden Chersonese. It was ground-breaking reportage at the time because many of the places she visited were totally cut off from the outside world.

Graham Earnshaw is a writer and publisher who has long lived in the Chinese world. He has written and published a number of books, including an account of his continuing walk across China, The Great Walk of China (2010).
