Tea plantations and ancient temples, introduced in a pocket-sized 1966 guide to the island now known as Sri Lanka.
Written by Lee Boltin, this booklet is part of the American Geographical Society's Around the World series. Founded in 1851, the Society is the oldest nationwide geographical organization in the U.S., and its travel booklets were built to bring distant places into American homes — a small but vivid record of how a country looked and was understood at a particular point in time.
A meaningful gift for a teacher, world historian, or travel book collector building out the full Around the World series.
