This applies fully to The Zodiac Arch, a galaxy of her shorter writings whose titles alone are an enticement: In Defence of Smuggling, Tidiness, The Bull-Fight, The Foreign Office 'H', Decadence, The Old-fashioned Spinster, Passing Fashions, Lunch with Homer and many others. There are several of her sensitive and practical comments on the writer's craft such as Saying What One Means and A Note on Style, and, as might be expected, many on that subject of which sh is the accepted authority and stylist - travel - both its philosophy and its factual pleasures. So, amongst others, we have On travelling with a Notebook, My Worst journey, Travel for Solitude. lInking the chapters is a commentary written with Frey Stark's extraordinary powers of evocation which are also expressed for the first time in three fictional sketches. ***To complete a book of striking individuality there is an account of that most exciting and ancient of human occupations, building oneself a house, this time on a hilltop in italy, which is her most recent feat and a symbol, in a way, of the eminence she has achieved through her books and her mastery of words. ***None of the material collected here has appeared in any of her previous books, and it spans, in chronological sequence, the lifetime of one of the most distinguished travellers and writers of our day.' (Quote and review quote from inside front and rear of dustwrapper blurb). ***First impression of the true first edition in its original bright unfaded dustwrapper. Of interest to collectors and readers of Freya stark and travel essay first editions and the woodcuts of Reynolds Stone. ***For all our books, postage is charged at cost, allowing for packaging: any shipping rates indicated on ABE are an average only: we will reduce the P & P charge where appropriate - please contact us for postal rates for heavier books and sets etc.
