The Land of the Blue Poppy: Travels of a Naturalist in Eastern Tibet (Hardcover) (ISBN-13: 9781019385296)

In the early 20th century, few Westerners had set foot in the remote and rugged region of eastern Tibet. Francis Kingdon Ward was one of the first. In The Land of the Blue Poppy, he recounts his adventures exploring this mysterious land, encountering exotic plants and animals, and interacting with the local people. This vivid travelogue is a fascinating portrait of a region rarely seen by Western eyes.
