Notes: |
Includes index. Jane Franklin's diary provides a detailed and colourful snapshot of colonial society, recorded by a sharply observant witness. An intrepid traveller, Jane Franklin was consumed by an unquenchable curiosity. She looked, questioned, listened and wrote - pages and pages of miniscule notes on every topic that came to hand.
Bibliography: p. 256-257.
