Críticas

‘So superbly did he write that the “armchair explorer” can almost feel the breeze upon the cheek, almost smell the blossoms, see the distant blue hills, or hear the pounding of the mighty rivers.’  Tony Schilling, in ‘Frank Kingdon-Ward: Plant Hunter and Romantic’, Journal of the American Rhododendron Society, 1991

‘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.
