About the author
Born Mary Beatrix Nunns in 1869, she later became known as Beatrix Bulstrode and, after her second marriage, Beatrix Manico Gull. She was a British journalist and explorer whose life moved between reporting, travel, and book writing.
Her best-known work is A Tour in Mongolia (1920), a travel narrative based on her journey from Peking into Inner Mongolia. Contemporary editions and library records present the book under the name Beatrix Manico Gull, while biographical sources connect that name with Beatrix Bulstrode.
What stands out about her work is its sense of movement and curiosity: long overland travel, close attention to local life, and the perspective of a writer willing to go where few British women travelers of her time had gone. She died in 1951.
