About This Item
London: Cape, 1952. 8vo. pp. 254. Index and foldout map. Original blue boards, lettered in silver to spine. A fine copy in a near fine, unclipped dustwrapper, slight dulling to spine and with just the lightest edgewear to head of spine. Photographic frontispiece and illustrations by the author. First edition. As well as a mastery of his subject, Francis Kingdon-Ward [1885-1958] had a deep curiosity about the terrain and people he encountered during his botanical expeditions. The result was a series of absorbing travel-cum-textbooks, engagingly written, attractive to the general reader as well as the specialist, whose author was one of the forefathers of popular science. An unusually well-preserved copy in the dustwrapper.
