A SUMMER ON THE YENESEI. 



By MAUD D, HAVILAND, 



Author of " The Wood People," etc. 



With Numerous Illustrations from Photographs by the A iithor. 

 One Volume Demy 8vo. los. 6d. net. 



This is the account of a summer spent in unconventional 

 surroundings among unconventional people. With three com- 

 panions, the writer travelled two thousand miles down the 

 mighty Yenesei River, and spent two months in a little pioneer 

 settlement at the most northerly limit of civilization, among the 

 simple Russian fisher-folk and the Siberian aborigines. Here, 

 some weeks after its outbreak, news arrived of the war in 

 Europe. The voyage home by sea was an adventurous one. 

 The writer and one of her companions reached England in 

 October, " like a pair of Rip van Winkles," knowing nothing 

 but the barest facts about the war, which had then been raging 

 for two months. 



Miss Haviland is known as a keen naturalist and successful 

 photographer of wild life, and the photographic illustrations are 

 not the least interesting feature of the volume. But although the 

 book is one which will appeal especially to nature lovers, it may 

 be read with equal enjoyment by those who know nothing of 

 natural history. It contains plenty of adventures, both comical 

 and tragical, recounted in lively style ; and introduces the reader 

 to a number of characters, both human and feathered, that have 

 not strayed into many previous books of travel.

" Miss Maud D. Haviland is acknowledged as one of our most accom- 

 plished interpreters of the wild, and there is not a chapter in this latest 

 selection of her nature stories that has failed to enthral us. The reader is 

 simply compelled to be enmeshed in her wonderful imagination and look on 

 at the lower animals living and lovini;, working and playing, as in some 

 come die animale." — Pall Mall Gazette.
