Recollections and Further Recolletions of a Happy Life: Being the Autobiography of Marianne North

Today Marianne North is remembered for the gallery in Kew Garden named after her. Alongside Isabella Bird, she was the most popular and well-known lady-traveller in nineteenth-century England. She travelled to all parts of the world and left numerous botanical drawings. Unlike Isabella Bird, however, she did not leave any travel records and only the three volumes reprinted here are the textual source of her travelling. Compiled by her sister, these volumes are more like a chronological history of Marianne North's travelling than a biography and provide indispensable material for those studying Victorian lady-travellers.Symonds, John Addington is the author of 'Recollections and Further Recolletions of a Happy Life: Being the Autobiography of Marianne North', published 2008 under ISBN 9784861660269 and ISBN 4861660262.
