On the wilder shores of love : sketches from a Bohemian life
Blanch, Lesley2015
Book
Mansel Most famous for 'The Wilder Shores of Love', her book about women travellers, Lesley Blanch was a scholarly romantic, an intrepid traveller and a fabulous character. Born in 1904, she died aged 103, having gone from being a household name to a mysterious and neglected living legend. She was writing her memoirs at the time of her death, beginning with her very odd Edwardian childhood. Her goddaughter, who was working with her at the time, has now collected that piece and many others, some never published, some published only in French; some letters, some Vogue articles to create 'On the Wilder Shores of Love' which captures the essence of a rich and rewarding life spanning the 20th century.
