    Title THE REAL SIBERIA. TOGETHER WITH AN ACCOUNT OF A DASH THROUGH MANCHURIA.
    Publishing Information London: Cassell and Company Ltd., 1912.
    Description 1912 Edition; xii, 279pp, illustrated, 1 map, 16 b/w photographs.Red cloth covers with black titling. From the first page this is a delight. The vanished world of pre-revolutionary Russia, straight out of the novels of the late nineteenth century. Anyone, for example, who has read Tolstoy's 'Resurrection' really should read this fascinating travel document, beautifully observed and written by a man who travelled to extraordinary places at a time when it was difficult and dangerous to do so. This slow journey from Moscow to Vladivostock (followed by a dash into the forbidden land of Manchuria) is a priceless and riveting read. Covers stained, age toning to pages, slight foxing. Good.
