And Bring", "The Bird Of Gardens Sang Unto The Rose", "Wind From The East, Oh Lapwing Of The Day", "Sleep On Thine Eyes, Bright As Narcissus Flowers", "Oh Turkish Maid Of Shiraz!

Gertrude Margaret Lowthian Bell, CBE (1868-1926) was an English writer, political officer, traveller, archaeologist, and administrator. She became an important policy-maker in the British Empire as a result of her extensive knowledge and contacts, which she built up through her numerous travels in Mesopotamia, Greater Syria, Asia Minor, and Arabia. Other notable works by this author include: "Poems from the Divan of Hafiz" (1892), "The Desert and the Sown" (1907), and "Mountains of the Servants of God" (1910). This classic work is being republished now in a new edition with specially curated introductory material.
