Land of the Morning Calm by</FONT><FONT face=µ¸¿ò size=2>
</FONT><FONT face=µ¸¿ò size=2>A. Henry Savage-Landor (1895) is freely available

<P><FONT face=µ¸¿ò size=2>I did not know it, until now. It certainly seems to have
a very lively style, and tells a lot of amusing stories but perhaps offers less
poetry than Isabella B.</FONT></P>

<P><FONT face=µ¸¿ò>Our Little Korean Cousin by H. Lee M. Pike also looks
interesting, (1905). It also has pictures, and goes into very great detail
about Korean daily life and customs. I wonder who the author was and how
reliable the information is. Tiger-skin rugs in a child's room? I see from
Amazon.com that someone has recently printed the text and is selling it for
$88, which seems a lot of money.</FONT></P>

<P><FONT face=µ¸¿ò>Although Project Gutenberg have not got her book on
Korea, they do have several other of Isabella Bird's books (see the index at <A

and I think that the text of her Unbeaten Tracks in Japan <A
