What Our Customers Say...

Description

The first English translation, by Margaret R Thomson and edited by J Arthur Thomson.

Illustrated throughout, with a frontispiece and eighty two illustrations, some in-text. 

Collated, complete.

Prize bookplate to the front pastedown addressed to the former owner Robert M Kerr. 

A lovely copy of this work, which details travels in many locations including Lapland, The Tundra, Siberia, The Nile and the Danube. There is an account of the flora, fauna and geography of each area discussed.

Condition

In the publisher's original cloth binding. Externally, very smart. Minor bumping to the head and tail of spine. Bookplate to the front pastedown addressed to one Roberto M Kerr. Internally, firmly bound. Pages are very bright. Some of the leaves remain unopened to the fore-edge. The odd spots to pages.

Very Good Indeed
