As I believe that I am the first European woman who has visited Kerman and Persian Baluchistan, my experiences may perhaps interest other women who feel the "Wandelust" but are unable to gratify their longing for adventure' (Preface). 'A useful book' (Ghani).

Ella Sykes' journey in 1894 was occasioned by her brother, Percy, being appointed the Foundation Consul in Kerman. She remained in Kerman for three years. The book speaks eloquently of Ella's love for Baluchistan.

8vo, xvi, 313 pp., 8 photographic illustrations, folding map, original blue pictorial cloth gilt, light fade to spine, joints rubbed, a little spotting, a good copy.

Ghani p361; Theakstone p 263.
