About the author
Jennie Pugh is credited alongside George Pugh as the co-author of At the Back of the World: Wanderings over Many Lands and Seas, originally published in the United Kingdom by Lynwood and Co., Ltd. in 1913.
Reliable biographical details about her life are scarce in the sources available here, so it is safest to describe her through the book itself. The memoir is associated with travel writing, adventure, and biography, and it follows maritime journeys and encounters across distant places in a lively, accessible style.
Because so little personal information is readily confirmed, part of Jennie Pugh's interest for modern readers is precisely this air of mystery: she remains known mainly through a single surviving book and the adventurous world it records.
