In the Forbidden Land by A Henry Savage Landor is the account of the author's 1896 expedition to Tibet where he was captured and imprisoned. The author's lack of either training or a scientific approach to his wanderings have rendered much of his surveying and scientific recordings unreliable, but his dry humour and almost impossible escapes make his books enjoyable. This is a facsimile reprint of the 2 volume first edition of 1898.
