Review:
'It was rare to leave her company without feeling that the world was somehow larger and more promising. Her life was something of a work of art... The books in which she recorded her journeys were seductively individual... Nomad and social lioness, public servant and private essayist, emotional victim and mythmaker.' (Colin Thubron, New York Times)
'Few writers have the capacity to do with words what Fabergé could do with gems to fashion them, without violating their quality. It is this extraordinary talent which sets Freya Stark apart from her fellow craftsman in the construction of books on travel.' (The Daily Telegraph)
'Freya Stark remains unexcelled as an interpreter of brief encounters in wild regions against the backdrop of history.' --(The Observer)
'Versatile, prolific, erudite, truly she was the greatest woman traveller of her age, and her books continue to inspire.' --(Robin Hanbury-Tenison, Country Life)

Freya Stark remains unexcelled as an interpreter of brief encounters in wild regions against the backdrop of history. --- The Observer
Freya Stark (1893-1993), 'the poet of travel', was the doyenne of Middle East writers and one of the most courageous and adventurous women travellers of her generation. She explored Syria, Palestine, Lebanon, Iran, Iraq and Southern Arabia, where she became the first western woman to journey through the Hadhramaut. Usually alone, she ventured to places few Europeans had visited. She received the title of Dame and huge public acclaim. Her many, now classic, books include 'Traveller's Prelude', 'Ionia', 'The Southern Gates of Arabia', 'Alexander's Path', 'Dust in the Lion's Paw', 'East is West' and 'Valleys of the Assassins'.
