TIL about Lesley Blanch, quite an interesting travel writer, her obit in NYT sums her life well (https://www.nytimes.com/2007/05/11/arts/11blanch.html https://www.nytimes.com/2007/05/11/arts/11blanch.html), also see this article (https://www.telegraph.co.uk/culture/books/bookreviews/11347881/On-the-Wilder-Shores-of-Love-a-Bohemian-Life-by-Lesley-Blanch-review.html https://www.telegraph.co.uk/culture/books/bookreviews/113478...) that identifies "The Traveler".
