Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This is a delightful little memoir about Ella M. Hart Bennett's time as an English girl in Japan with her father. Published in 1906, these sketches of her life in Japan and the voyage were taken from a diary she kept during her travels. Born as Ella Mary Tuck, Hart reveals some details of her roots in this work. She was the daughter of an English ambassador during the mid-19th century in Japan. Hart traveled with her father, and in this travelogue, and talks about her life in this unexplored land. She describes her first friend in her new situation, her travel experiences through New York and the Rocky Mountains, her assumptions of Japanese people, particularly women and children. This book is an interesting look into the social history of the imperial politics of that time, the spirit of womanhood in the East and the West, and it also delivers valuable insight s into how wisdom develops through traveling.
