Críticas

‘I hope you liked my book! I don't expect you to agree with it!' he wrote just before he dashed back to the East. I can assure him, wherever he is, that his hope is justified. Every one, in fact, who takes any interest in courageous travel, or in the plants and geography of the region, should buy it for himself. Kenneth Mason, The Himalayan Journal, Vol. 07, 1935.
