The journals of Lady Henrietta Clive, a feisty, independent-minded traveler, are among the very earliest written accounts of India by a British woman. In this book, editor Nancy Shields skillfully interweaves extracts from the journals with passages from the diary of Charly, Henrietta's precocious twelve-year-old daughter. Birds of Passage is illustrated with watercolours by Anna Tonelli, who accompanied the party of their voyage.
