Softbound. Condition: Near fine. Reprint edition. First published in 1889, this delightful account of a voyage in a luxurious Ducal private yacht, recounts a journey though the Red Sea to India, Singapore, and Siam, returning via Malaya, Ceylon, and Egypt. The author was invited to join the yacht as 'geographer and naturalist' but in fact spend much time describing Court life and entertainments in Bangkok, where she met King Chulalongkorn. In Singapore and Johore, the party was equally lavishly entertained by the Sultan. These descriptions are of real historical value but the book also includes much information more directly related to the work for which Mrs Caddy was engaged. An interesting, entertaining, and informative read. With biographical notes on the author by J. M. Gullick. A new, never previously owned copy; cover lightly age toned; still in shrinkwrap. 372 pp. Size: 20 x 13 cm.…
