Renowned for her engaging style, Bird takes readers on a vivid adventure through both North and South Korea, offering a rich tapestry of the landscapes, people, and customs of the then Hermit Kingdom.

Her unique encounters with the royalty and experiences in Seoul provide an unparalleled insight into the political and societal shifts of the era.
