    Description

    First Edition, Illustrated, Original Binding, Publishers' Original Binding, Scarce

    Ever Westward Through Heathen Lands, written by Edith M.E. Baring-Gould as a missionary book for children. Published by the Church Missionary Society in 1896.

    In the publisher's original cloth, with a frontispiece of The Great Buddha at Nara, Japan. Contains all other 75 illustrations from Baring-Gould's travels. Collated complete. 

    A scarce book in which Baring-Gould and her husband, a fellow missionary, travel westward from North America, through Asia, before closing their travels in Egypt. The book offers an interesting picture into the attitudes of a 19th century Christian, and their perception of countries such as Japan, China and Sri Lanka when visiting different Christian communities.
