- Notes:
- "From the moment Cassandra Pybus heard about Lillian Alling, the woman who walked to Russia, the story sank hooks into her imagination. She too haunted the New York library and archives looking for clues about this enigmatic pedestrian. [...] Travel and adventure mingle with history and autobiography as Cassandra Pybus travels through an astonishing landscape embedded with tales of folly and courage, eating disorders and obsession at high latitude."--back cover.
