The Flight of the Lapwing is a memoir written by Henry Noel Shore, a British naval officer who served in China, Formosa (now Taiwan), and Japan during the late 19th century. The book is a collection of his personal notes and observations about his experiences in these countries, including descriptions of the local customs, traditions, and people he encountered. Shore also provides insight into the political and military climate of the time, detailing the conflicts and tensions between the various nations vying for control in the region. Through his vivid storytelling and detailed accounts, Shore paints a fascinating picture of life in East Asia during this pivotal period in history.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
