A Desert Voyage
Through Syria with Freya Stark
Dame Freya Stark, 84-year-old writer, poet, historian, explorer-traveller extraordinary, returns to one of the lands she loves best.
Even now she scorns the comforts of tourist travel and attempts yet another expedition, this time by raft down a river known for Its unpredictable behaviour, the Euphrates. Serenely she faces the mishaps all true travellers must meet, with a confidence born of a lifetime's experience.
As she journeys she talks lovingly of her involvement with the lands and peoples of the Near East. Narrated by ROLAND CULVER
