One of my favourite Freya Stark books; poetic, erudite and full of humanity, like most of her works. I also have her Ionian quest re. Herodotus, & 'Dust in the Lion's Paw' was the very first volume of her travelogues which I read. (

One summer I spent some weeks in Persia among the mountains of Elburz, and rode or walked about the passes that separate the Caspian jungle from the plain of Qazvin.
