@shmibs "The little world Stella Benson" This looks super interesting.
I have a book "I Married Adventure" (1940) by Osa Johnson, an autobiography by a woman who married a traveling national geographic photographer and wrote about all the places they went and things they experienced.
yeh, these sorts of travellogues were a huge thing, though 1940 is a bit recent, and the photography bit is kind of exciting. i'll look it up ^_^
would definitely recommend really anything at all of stella benson's though, mmm, favourite author. will put more up slowly, and there's also a few on gutenberg, though it's all early stuff and her later works are best
