What Lands Are These?, records the journeys I have made with my husband [Hammond Innes] since I published ,Occasions,.,When we set out to explore a country he hopes to write a novel about, we start where tourism and business stop. In the animal-haunted African bush, on the shores of Lake Rudolf or near the top of Mount Kulal; among the naked black people who inhibit the misty heights of Papua New Guinea; throughout the kaleidoscope of Pakistan, from Khyber Pass to the dancers of Lahore; or in the wild hills of West Wales where we have restored an old farm looking out over our forests - in each of these four countries I felt we had been absorbed into a different and secret world still complete in itself, not yet stirred into the general uniformity.
