The two roads of Papua

Description:

L E Cheesman was an entomologist who collected and explored extensively in the pacific ocean islands in the first half of the 20th century. This book describes her time spent in Papua. Not much description of the insects found, but plenty about her exploration, local people and some of their customs. An interesting insight into travel and colonisation in the not too distant past, but written in an old fashioned style which some might find annoying.
