About this product

Product Information

Having served as a nurse in Bulgaria during 1878 tending the casualties of the Russian-Turkish War, Kate Marsden saw first-hand the horrors of leprosy and determined to plan a journey to the leper colonies of Yakutsk, 2000 miles across the wastes of Siberia. Armed with the patronage of Queen Victoria and the Tsarina of Russia, suits for all occasions and her nurse's bonnet, she strode forth. The story of her travels and encounters in search of the lepers and of the elusive remedial herb, found only in Yakutsk, is astounding. Indeed there was much scepticism from certain quarters that such a feat could be possible, let alone by a woman. Kate Marsden tells her story with passion, determination, at times displaying an endearing vulnerability and a refreshing wit.

Good service, quick delivery. However item was described as "very good" and I would describe it as.. fair (see photos). I guess this is reflected in the price but probably wouldn't have bought in this condition if I'm being honest.

Great seller! Item arrived on time and was well packaged. If I was to have one niggle about this item, it is that, in the description it states that all pages will be free from markings. However, there were pages within this book that had been highlited by the previous owner. Other than that though, I am very satisfied and will definitely buy from this seller again.
