The Valleys Of The Assassins, Freya Stark, John Murray, 1937 Hailed as a classic when first published when first published in 1934 this book firmly established Freya Stark as one of her generation's most intrepid explorers. The book chronicles her travels into Lurisan, the mountainous terrain nestled between Iraq and present-day Iran, often with only a single guide and on a shoestring budget. Stark writes engagingly of the nomadic peoples who inhabit the region's valleys and brings to life the stories of the ancient kingdoms of the Middle East. This is a rare 1937 edition in dust jacket in good condition. The binding is straight and tight, the boards are bright with some shelf wear to the top and bottom edge of the spine and some small losses to the extremities. The end papers and pages are clean without marks, tears or inscriptions. All the maps are intact. The unclipped dustjacket, protected in a clear removable cover, is in fair condition with loss to the front cover and spine. Will be despatched wrapped carefully in bubblewrap and in a cardboard box.
