Constance Frederica "CF" Gordon-Cumming was born in Scotland in 1837, the twelfth child of a wealthy aristocratic family. The Gordon-Cummings were seemingly all travelers and explorers - planters in Sri Lanka, explorers of the River Nile, travelers to the Canadian interior, and at least one big-game hunter in Africa. Gordon-Cumming's first venture in foreign travel was a visit to her sister, who had married an officer stationed in India. She was a keen observer and self-taught landscape painter. Wanderings in China was first issued as two volumes in 1886.
Paul French, who has introduced and annotated this reprint, was born in London and lived and worked in Shanghai for many years. His book Midnight in Peking was a New York Times bestseller and a BBC Radio 4 Book of the Week. He lives in London, UK.
