Product Description
Review
'To some, Margaret Fountaine's life is regarded as that of a true Victorian eccentric. Others, however, recognise that this intrepid, brave woman who travelled to over 60 countries in pursuit of science left an invaluable legacy - one that goes far beyond her adventurous and free spirit.' --The Lady
Product Description
Natascha Scott-Stokes draws on a wealth of new material to tell Fountaine's remarkable story. A passionate lover and fearless spirit, Margaret Fountaine was a true individualist whose life was founded upon her idiosyncratic determination to pursue her work. Tempestuous love affairs with men from around the world aside, Fountaine can be counted as a pioneering traveller who considered the effects of tourism on native populations before anyone else and deveoped ideas of sustainable research whilst others were culling species for the world's museums. Time will tell whether Margaret Fountaine is to be ranked among the world's finest naturalists, but readers will find it as easy as always to fall under the spell of this great English Eccentric.
