Über den Autor
William Dawson Hooker was twenty when he travelled to Norway. In July 1836, he was a guest of the Crowe family in the most remote part of Norway. A medical student and the son of a prominent botanist (who would later become the first full-time director of the Royal Gardens at Kew), he was particularly interested in ornithology. Hooker published a dissertation on quinine before dying in Jamaica at the age of twenty-three.Although this book was published anonymously, the unprotected females in question are known to be Emmeline Lowe and her mother. These intrepid travellers would go on to publish Unprotected females in Sicily, Calabria and on Top of Mount Aetna, before giving up such independent adventures when Emmeline Lowe was married in 1859.A hand-written inscription on The London Library´s copy of this rare pamphlet reveals the author as Edward Stanford, Junior, son of the founder of the great travel bookseller and publisher Stanfords.
