"Gertrude Bell, happily for her family and friends, was one of the people whose lives can be reconstructed from their correspondence. Through all her wanderings, whether far or near, she kept in the closest touch with her family, to chronicle for their benefit all that happened to her, important or unimportant: whether a stirring tale of adventure or an account of a dinner party. .her letters show how unbreakable to the last was the bond between her and her home, and above all between her and her father. .Her devotion to him, her whole-hearted admiration, the close and satisfying companionship between them, their deep mutual affection - these were to both the very foundation of existence until the day she died." --- This, the First One Volume Edition - entirely reset (eleventh printing) April 1930. --- Original dark green cloth boards, lettered red on spine (22.1 cm height).
