"Quaint Korea" by Louise Jordan Miln is a captivating travelogue from the late 1800s that offers a window into a Korea on the cusp of change as witnessed firsthand by the author, who traveled with her husband and companions. Readers follow Mrs. Q. and her group as they navigate language barriers and cultural chasms while traveling to Korea, initially by Chinese junk, accompanied by a Chinese mandarin and a young man. The writer masterfully blends humorous personal stories with insightful observations about Korean society, customs, and the impact of Western culture during a period of historical shifts. Through a mix of anecdote and commentary, the narrative promises to immerse readers in a world where tradition meets modernity in the "land of the morning calm".
