Summary

"In the Forbidden Land: An Account of a Journey into Tibet, Capture by the Tibetan Authorities" by A. Henry Savage Landor is a story from the 1800s about a trip to Tibet. It tells how Landor went into the unknown place of Tibet, where he had to deal with rough land and then was caught, locked up, and hurt by the people in charge. The book is about his travels and also teaches about what life was like for the Tibetan people back then. At the start of the book, Landor talks about getting ready for the trip, like what he packed and the problems he faced even before he got to Tibet. The book shows how tough it was, with heat in India, problems with carrying things, and finding people he could trust to help him on the dangerous trip. The book quickly makes you feel like something bad is going to happen and shows how strong and smart Landor had to be as he started this trip, that would teach him a lot but also be very scary.
