"Korea and Her Neighbors" is a travelogue written by Isabella Lucy Bird, a renowned Victorian-era explorer and writer. Published in 1898, the book details Bird's extensive travels throughout Korea and neighboring regions during the late 19th century.

Isabella Bird's writings are characterized by her vivid descriptions of the places she visited and the people she encountered. In "Korea and Her Neighbors," she offers an insightful account of Korean culture, society, customs, and landscapes. Her narrative often captures the essence of daily life, the natural beauty of the land, and the challenges faced by the people she encountered.

The book is notable for providing a Western perspective on Korea and its neighboring countries during a period when access to these regions was limited for many Westerners. Bird's observations, experiences, and adventures in Korea and adjacent territories offer readers a valuable glimpse into the region's history, culture, and society during that time.

Her writing style is engaging, and she often combines travel anecdotes with cultural insights, making the book both informative and enjoyable for readers interested in travel literature, history, and cultural studies.
