Printing Details

First edition, second printing. Hardback in dustwrapper. 23 × 14.5cm, 297pp.

In 1939 when war broke out, Dame Freya Stark was already established as a traveller and writer. Her knowledge of the Middle East and her genius for friendship made her ideally suited to the task of influencing public opinion for the Allied cause. Interspersed with letters dealing with her private feelings and preoccupations, Freya Stark faced her share of danger during the siege of the British embassy at Bagdad. This book is a memoir of seven years spent in distant and dangerous lands.

Condition

This copy is in very good condition, with very minor edgewear to the wrapper. There is a newspaper article slipped in at page 118/119 which has caused some browning but otherwise this is a very good copy.
